The Flutter Run

Run, flutter, or walk with us! Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is thrilled to host our second annual 5k, raising funds to support the Conservatory’s mission to connect people to nature and create life-enhancing experiences. By participating in our 5k, you’re not only embarking on a scenic journey through the beautiful Franklin Park but also contributing to impactful efforts that sustain our mission. Your support helps fund educational programs, events, and initiatives that engage and connect our community. From providing hands-on horticulture workshops to offering immersive experiences with nature, every step you take in this race helps us continue our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all. Join us this summer to learn more about pollinators and celebrate nature and community at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Let’s run, flutter, or walk for a cause and pave the way for a greener, more connected future.

Stick around after the Flutter Run for Pollinator Palooza, from 11am to 3pm in the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus! (More information announced at a later date)
