Experience the Conservatory
A living collection of plants from around the world, the Conservatory connects beauty with purpose. Through research, teaching, and partnership, we care for these plants in ways that honor their origins and invite shared responsibility for the future of our planet.
Kimberly and Theodore Maged Tropical House
Plants from warm, frost-free climates thrive here in a carefully tended tropical environment. From towering leaves to intricate understory plants, this space highlights the extraordinary diversity of the world’s tropical ecosystems.
The Temperate House
Plants here live through cold winters and hot summers, with forms shaped by the seasons. Evergreen leaves, changing colors, and seasonal textures fill the space, while koi swim in the water feature. Stop and visit with them as you explore.
The Arid House
Plants of the Arid House have learned to thrive where water is scarce. Their plump leaves, spines, and unique forms tell the story of survival in hot, frost-free deserts of Africa, the Americas, and Asia and offer a striking lesson in resilience.
