Natural Attractions: A Plant-Pollinator Love Story

May 24–October 20, 2024

Celebrate the plant-pollinator love story through the lens of Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s vast and varied collections and the native insects to which they are inextricably linked.

This plant-centered summer exhibition focuses primarily on native insect pollinators and will inspire a new way of seeing and appreciating the essential necessity of plants—and insects—to our lives and the life of our planet.

Explore a kid-friendly exhibit in the Discovery Garden, an interactive pollinator lounge in Oak Circle, and a comprehensive exhibit in the Steinhardt Conservatory, or drop by for a special tour, performance, or educational activity.

Free with Garden admission. Check back in May for details!
