It’s National Public Gardens Day! This holiday occurs annually on the Friday before Mother's Day, and is a day to promote awareness of botanic gardens, arboreta, zoos, historic gardens, or any of North America's public gardens. There’s nearly twenty gardens to visit at Springfield Botanical Gardens at Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Park. Come celebrate with us by taking a nice long walk to explore all the gardens.
