Baltimore’s favorite harbinger of spring is the Conservatory’s annual bulb show.

The plant material, along with grand hand-made sea creatures, colorful crafts, and wonderful objects borrowed from Second Chance, Inc., will become an immersive experience in an underwater world. Come visit the Octopus’s Garden!
