Saturday, March 19: Spring Flower Show: Sunshine and Rainbows at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, open 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Spring arrives in Pittsburgh one day early at Phipps this year. You’ll find tens of thousands of bright blooms — everything from lilies, amaryllis, petunias and daffodils to tulips, hyacinths, nemesia and muscari. Kids can discover a flower rainbow and bask in the warmth of the glasshouse, along with oversized tulips, trickling rain showers and floating planters forming a color wheel. You only have four weeks to catch these gorgeous flowers, so don’t wait. Buy tickets here.
