At Nicholas Conservatory we say you learn something new every time you set foot in the gardens! We learn from our volunteers, fellow staff, and from our visitors. We want to make sure we give visitors a variety of ways to engage with the gardens, whether talking with a volunteer, learning from a program, or utilizing new digital resources.

Horticulture Highlight : Holiday Plants at Nicholas Conservatory
Since 2013, we have been designing our indoor 10-foot holiday tree with tropical bromeliads for a tropical twist on holiday tradition. Not only do bromeliads enjoy our tropical climate inside the conservatory, but they are also long-lasting and much easier to water on the angled tree frame than the traditional poinsettias that tend to dry out easily.
