Halloween Shivers at the Botanical Garden

Visitors step into the Main Exhibition Greenhouse to encounter sorcerer Kalbacius's lair, featuring transformed gourds, an enchanted greenhouse, and an unusual seed library. Guests can create their own plant-inspired monster creatures using leaves, branches, and seeds in the Chlorophyll Room workshop, or navigate an outdoor labyrinth filled with hidden creatures and optical illusions. The experience also offers hands-on seed activities and an auditorium theatre show about a little squash trying to be scary.
