Don’t be late! It’s finally here. Follow Alice down the rabbit hole to a wonderful garden adventure! It’s the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s Alice’s Garden of Wonder event, opening May 3, 2014. 
It All Starts With a Rabbit
After a big opening day on Friday, May 2, bring lawn chairs and blankets to watch the movie Alice in Wonderland under the stars from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. Movie admission is $5 and includes popcorn. Then starting Saturday, May 3, don’t miss champion chain-saw artist Roark Phillips transform a tree stump into a 6′ tall rabbit. You can watch this amazing sculpture take shape right before your eyes throughout the weekend.
Butterflys!
