May at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

The water lilies are back! The first water lilies of the year are now blooming at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. By the end of may we will have lots of lilies to enjoy and we may see our first lotus flower before Memorial Day. The park is alive with frogs, turtles, snakes (non-venomous) and many birds! The kingbirds, indigo buntings, orchard orioles and green herons are all back in the park! Come out and visit the aquatic oasis in May!
