June 12 – September 13
Get down to Earth this summer and join us for a picnic at The Leaf.
Across cultures and continents, food brings people together; it’s one way plants sustain and connect our world. This vibrant display celebrates the plants that feed the world—physically, culturally, and ceremonially.
Inspired by a playful picnic in the Park, this display features vibrant foliage, a series of botanically themed picnic tables, and whimsical touches such as floating hot-air balloons and an intimate gazebo with living mosaic cushions.
Take a seat and discover how the plants that nourish us also bring beauty, meaning, and community to our everyday lives.
Plants have the power to intrigue, heal, nourish, and captivate all our senses. Discover the magic, wonder, and transformative beauty of nature this year at The Leaf. Excited to see what's new? Purchase a membership to enjoy unlimited year-round visits!
Embark on a mysterious journey through whimsical lands where curious plants imitate and play clever tricks. Every corner holds a delightful new surprise.
A gentle and mischievous troll welcomes you into a magical woodland adorned with snow-dusted trees, rich mosses, and sparkling lights where the spirit of winter comes alive.
