Program Description

Event Description

Step into a living display of transformation! Visit our side-by-side tanks all summer long as we explore the beauty of nature and color in motion. One tank features tiny caterpillars growing and changing into vibrant butterflies. The other is home to Oklahoma native wildflower seeds that will sprout and bloom right before our eyes. Once our butterflies emerge, they’ll spend a few days among the blossoms before being released into the world.

Check in often to see what’s new—and watch our garden grow and flutter with color! Add your observations, help name our caterpillars, guess which flowers will bloom first, and potentially win a wildflower grow kit for your family to experience at home!
