Holiday Blooms

11-23-2024 01-05-2025 DURING GENERAL ADMISSION & CONSERVATORY AGLOW

We’ve decked the Conservatory’s halls, and they’re blooming with holiday spirit! Featuring hundreds of unique poinsettias, the poinsettia trees and more, visitors can spend the season amidst themed photo-ready holiday vignettes inspired by classic scenes and storybook moments of the iconic holiday ballet, The Nutcracker.

Outdoors in the Grand Mallway and Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden, container gardens are creatively styled for the winter.

Please note: The Conservatory will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
