June at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

Waterlilies are bountiful all over the park! Our volunteers moved the tropical lilies from the hothouses to the display ponds and they are vibrant. Bird enthusiasts have been enjoying watching the 3 young fledgling red-shouldered hawks, nesting orchard orioles and kingbirds. Turtles have been laying eggs and tadpoles and frogs are abundant in the ponds.

June is a great time to visit Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens! The lotus flowers start blooming in early June and will be plentiful by the end of the month. The best time to visit is in the morning as the temperatures are cooler and the flowers close up in the heat of the day, usually around 1:30pm.

Come out and visit Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens soon!
