April Showers Bring May Flowers

If you're tired of April Showers, plan a visit to enjoy May Flowers at one of the many Botanical Gardens in Pennsylvania. The Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh is a great glass Victorian greenhouse. Located in Schenley Park, Phipps Conservatory stands as a cultural and architectural centerpiece of the city's Oakland neighborhood. With 19 indoor and outdoor gardens to stroll, you can also participate in a number of docent-led group tours including the new Center for Sustainable Landscape. The Phipps always has new exhibits and events featuring unique artists and themes. May events include:

• Butterfly Forest opens April 25 to Sept 7
• 31st Annual Great Plant Auction on May 1 at 6:00 pm
• Summer Flower Show opens May 2 to October 5
• May Market & National Public Gardens Day on May 8 & 9
