WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The Monk Botanical Gardens’ “Blossom of Lights” opened on Thursday.
It’s an interactive walk through the gardens with themed light fixtures throughout the path.
Darcie Howard, the executive director of the gardens, says the inspiration came from other gardens doing similar events in previous years, and they finally had the means to follow through their own version this year. She also says they hope to attract visitors that will come when the gardens are not lit up in bright colors. “It’s a little bit of everything for everybody, and I think as you go through the different themed areas, there’s definitely sections that are great for kids, and then there’s others that the adults will really enjoy.”
The gardens will be open for this event Thursdays through Saturdays for the rest of October.
Tickets, which cost $10 each, must be purchased in-advance online here.
