April at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

Here come the lilies! April at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens brings out some of our favorite park friends like the green herons, butterflies, king birds, and our first lily flowers! We are on lily watch as the first lilies usually bloom between the third and fourth week of April. Turtles and frogs and the occasional snake (non-venomous) will be out and about as well! Come out and enjoy the warming temperatures and the greening foliage and help us spot the first lily flower of 2024!
