Summer Flower Show 2021: The Hidden Life of Trolls
MAY 9 – SEPT. 26, 2021
Originally planned for summer 2020 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Summer Flower Show: The Hidden Life of Trolls finally made it's debut in summer 2021. The whimsical show brought one-of-a-kind trolls inspired by Scandinavian folklore and pop culture into the Conservatory with interactive and animatronic elements. Beloved trolls Fen and Ivy were introduced to the Phipps world. From ginormous bathing beasts to tiny troll illustrations from Phipps' youngest artists, The Hidden Life of Trolls was a flower show like no other.
