Yes, there were bees and butterflies all over the property.
They claim to be open 363 days per year, so that would include a lot of snowbound days.

This place is awesome, with displays of so many types of flowers, annual and perennial herbs, trees, trees, every kind of tree, shrubs as ornamentals or hedges, it would take days to visit everything on site. They have a really nice gift shop too.
The whole thing is surrounded by a "three-mile drive" that visitors can leisurely drive through, stopping here or there at the multiple benches, picnic tables, or other exhibits around the huge property. They also run a slow tram around the same drive, narrated by the worker/driver.

If you have any interest in gardening, you should go and check it out. The variety is just overwhelming. Sure, perhaps not a lot of these plants are suitable for extreme south Texas, but WTF.
We didn't have time to see the beehive spaces or the apple farm. Did you know that the popular "Honeycrisp" apple was developed at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum?
Bravo, Minnesota. Bravo!
