Birmingham Botanical Gardens will transport guests to a galaxy far, far way, back to the future and onto the dance floor this summer with its Flicks Among the Flowers event.
The lineup, released this week, will feature:
- Back to the Future - May 18
- Dirty Dancing - June 15
- Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens - July 20
The free event will feature refreshments sold by The Gardens Cafe. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or outdoor chairs to sit on. Movies will be shown in the Formal Garden in front of the conservatory. Pets are not allowed. Gates will open at 6 p.m., and the movie will begin at 8 p.m.
“We wanted to attract younger people to the gardens and to look at the gardens in a new way,” said Andrew Krebbs, director of marketing and membership for the Gardens. “We’re more than just some plants; we’re an experience.”
Last year was the inaugural year for Flicks Among the Flowers. It attracted 300 people, but the Gardens assures that there is plenty of room for more this year.
Flicks Among the Flowers is sponsored in part by Lane Parke.
