Escape from the January cold and enter into the bright, spring-like atmosphere of the Conservatory.  Enjoy lunch with friends. Then we will join our tour guides to explore the latest display of the Conservatory’s signature collection of Dale Chihuly’s amazing works, consisting of thousands

of individually blown glass elements. The Conservatory’s natural lighting and botanical collections provide the perfect backdrop for this dynamic glass exhibit.

 

The Pacific Island Water Garden comes alive with warmth and color in the midst of winter, with hundreds of tropical orchids. The orchids, a

waterfall and a Kio pond, along with the Chihuly glass art works, set the stage for a very pleasant midwinter escape. Members of the Conservatory will be admitted free of charge. However, you will still need to mail in your reservation.
