Daylily Off-Scape Show
While day lilies are some of the favorite garden plants in Minnesota, you would be surprised by how many types and colors you haven’t seen at the Daylily Off-Scape Show at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Walk up and down the tables seeing new blooms and ask all of your questions to the gardeners that know them best. When you’re done, stroll through “Origami in the Garden,” the outdoor art installation that resides among the arboretum’s flowers—here’s a sneak peek of the exhibit. Saturday at 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (the arboretum is open longer) @ Snyder Auditorium, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, 3675 Arboretum Drive, Chaska, daylilysocietyofminnesota.org
