Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park released its 2021 calendar of events, which include exhibitions, guest speakers and concerts.
Many events are on hold or will be held virtually.
Meijer Gardens will begin the year with the Fred & Dorothy Fichter Butterflies Are Blooming exhibition between March 1 – April 30. It will feature more than 60 different species of butterflies and moths in the five-story, 85-degree Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory.
Guests can watch butterflies drink nectar from the flowering plants and feeding stations. Approximately 800 chrysalides will be delivered to Meijer Gardens weekly. Chrysalides and cocoons will be in the observation station, where they transform into butterflies and take their first flight.
