OUR GARDEN IS GROWING!

We’re expanding to offer exciting new guest experiences and programming to serve our community. Our conservatory will double in size to include four distinct climate zones: Mediterranean, desert, tropical rainforest, and a subtropical butterfly house. Additionally, 7 acres of new gardens and Wick Lake will be available for guests to explore and enjoy.

Learn more about our project, THRIVE: A Campaign for communities.

Please note: the Conservatory is currently closed due to this project and will reopen in 2026.
