Botanica, The Wichita Gardens is open year-round and repeat visits offer new surprises as The Gardens change with the seasons. In spring, more than 50,000 tulip bulbs and 120,000 daffodil bulbs bloom along with an assortment of wildflowers and flowering shrubs. Later bloomers include azaleas, irises, roses, peonies, and other perennials. More than 20,000 annuals combine with beautiful perennial color in the summer along with spectacular prairie wildflowers. In autumn, you’ll find asters, liriope, sedum, and more than 5,500 chrysanthemums amongst the backdrop of fall color from trees and shrubs. In winter, The Gardens feature 12,000 pansies, red-twig dogwood, witch hazel, and berried hollies.
As the gardens have grown, so have the educational opportunities. The diversity of the garden display areas provides a rich horticultural and visual learning environment for all visitors. This diversity allows for a consistent growth in the number and variety of youth and continuing education opportunities offered to the community.
Botanica also takes pride in developing the community. In keeping with its mission to promote community development and provide cultural experiences in a pleasant garden setting, Botanica has a wide-array of special events throughout the year. Special events are designed to bring visitors to the Gardens for a variety of activities that involve the community in garden-centered events, that provide entertainment for members, and that encourage attendance. Attendance at these special events accounts for approximately one-fourth of the annual attendance at Botanica.
Plans for continued cultivation include additional educational programming, enhanced special events, and plans for expansion of The Gardens, including consolidated administrative offices and new facilities with the opening of a new events center that opened in 2014, as well as the Chinese Garden of Friendship opened in Spring 2015.
With ever-changing scenery, educational classes for young and old, and special events to entertain and amuse, we invite you to visit Botanica often and take advantage of all that the Gardens have to offer!

This place is beautiful! A must see in Wichita, it is a true gem that stands out. When you are driving here it seems hidden and you question where you are going but then when you get here it just takes your breath away with it lush gardens and manicured topiaries. If you are a visitor or a local you have to see Botanica.

Recently attended the Origami in the Gardens artist talk. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered free admission to the public for that event! It was wonderful to have the opportunity to listen to these talented artists describe their process and inspiration before seeing their works in the gardens. The exhibition for Origami in the Garden is absolutely worth a trip to see while it is still available! Pictures only do so much justice, seeing these pieces in person is a must.
I haven't been to Botanica in a few years and I was amazed by how much it has grown! It was just as beautiful as I remember but there were more paths and things to enjoy, especially for families with young children. I love seeing local organizations bring unique art and activities to Wichita. Thanks for a wonderful experience Botanica!

Moved here 3 years ago. Botanica is a must for garden lovers. Enjoy it so much, which is why I picked it to visit on Mothers Day this year. But they did a disservice to moms who want a PEACEFUL experience by playing extremely loud bass thumping music. Not ideal for a mixed crowd.

The white woman at the front desk 5/1/2026 around 12pm was horrible. This is not how you treat guest especially first time guests. She was rude, unwelcoming, and flat out disrespectful. We could not shake off the encounter hence we could not enjoy our time at the beautiful garden.
