4th Annual Spring Fling in the Brevard Discovery Garden

EVENT SUMMARY

Join us for a free, family-friendly garden festival celebrating plants, pollinators, and Florida-Friendly landscapes! The 4th Annual Spring Fling Plant Sale and Bees, Butterflies & Blooms Festival, is a special collaboration between Brevard Discovery Garden and Brevard Backyard Beekeepers. For the first time, these two popular spring events will come together to create one unforgettable community celebration featuring native plants, pollinator education, hands-on activities, and local vendors.

EVENT OVERVIEW

🌸 About The Event

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the Brevard Discovery Garden and Brevard Backyard Beekeepers will unite their annual spring events at the UF/IFAS Extension Brevard County Facility in Cocoa for a full-scale garden and pollinator festival.

In past years, these organizations hosted separate spring events. In 2026, they are combining efforts to create a richer, more engaging experience—connecting gardeners, families, and nature lovers with the plants, practices, and pollinators that support healthy Florida landscapes.

This free event is open to all ages and designed for everyone from seasoned gardeners to curious beginners. To get a glimpse of what’s in store, watch this short video from a previous Brevard Discovery Garden festival:
