No Better Place this Winter

There’s no better place to chase away winter than in our stunning glasshouses. Bask in the  beauty of our new West Conservatory as this architectural showstopper begins its peak flowering season. Stroll our historic conservatories where lush, colorful gardens and the soothing sounds of water transport you to another world.

Dramatic Designs

Gardening under glass takes unprecedented form this winter, and for very good reason. It’s our first winter with the West Conservatory and the preserved Cascade Garden … and it’s one you don’t want to miss. This season our new West Conservatory, with its dramatic crystalline roofline, also boasts drama indoors as the Mediterranean-inspired garden begins its peak flowering season. Bask in the warmth and beauty of this expansive interior landscape that offers a palette of intriguing plants at every turn.

Travel to the tropics courtesy of our lush Cascade Garden, a verdant sanctuary just a few steps away. Experience this expertly crafted–and lovingly preserved–garden whose new  glasshouse encapsulates the garden’s familiar meandering path, 16 waterfalls, and lush plants from the rainforest. As always, our historic conservatories delight with their colorful plantings and exuberant textures that chase any hint of winter away.
