Event Description
Run, flutter, or walk with us! Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is thrilled to launch our inaugural 5k, raising funds to support the Conservatory’s mission to connect the community to nature through educational, cultural, and social experiences inspired by horticulture. This inaugural race celebrates 30 years of the Conservatory’s beloved Blooms & Butterflies exhibition and will feature pollinators from start to finish.
By participating in our 5k, you're not only embarking on a scenic journey through our beautiful park but also contributing to impactful efforts that sustain our mission. Your support helps fund educational programs, cultural events, and social initiatives that engage and connect our community. From providing hands-on horticulture workshops to offering immersive cultural experiences, every step you take in this race helps us continue our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all. Join us this summer as we come together to celebrate nature, community, and 30 years of Blooms and Butterflies at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Let's run, flutter, or walk for a cause and pave the way for a greener, more connected future.
