| General Info
Unwind through winding paths. The art displays here are integrated into the surrounding plant life. If you have a chance to drop by in late December, visit the Holiday Flower Show. This is one of the Conservatory's seasonal shows and lends a cheery feeling to the holidays. Look at and even smell the fresh Christmas trees, begonias and poinsettias. Don’t forget to check out the Chocolate Festival in February. The Conservatory has been doing these annual shows since 1915 so it has a lot of practice and will impress!
