August at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

The days are hot and humid, but it is still a beautiful time to visit Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. In August, visitors can look forward to seeing a wide variety of plants in bloom, such as:

• New York ironweed
• Swamp milkweed
• Buttonbush
• Pickerel weed
• American groundnut
• Wild rice
• Boneset (Eupatorium)
• Swamp rose mallow (Hibiscus)
• Water hemlock
• Arrowhead
• Clematis
• Purple loosestrife

Some lotus and waterlily varietals may still be visible, especially in the morning and evening when they open.

Summer is our busiest time of year, but it will be worth coming to see all of the vibrant blooms and enjoy the natural serenity that our aquatic gardens provide.

 

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is open year-round. Check current park hours.

When visiting Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, please keep in mind:

We are excited to welcome you to the gardens!
