These are just some of my favorite photos from the visit to the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago. This is the 3rd largest indoor garden Conservatory in the world and admission is free!
This fountain is created in a traditional eleventh century Moorish technique with handmade terra cotta tiles called “zellij”. I loved the shadows cast by roof of the Conservatory, too!
Just to give you an idea of the massive size of this place the Palm House is 65 ft high and 90 ft wide, and is the largest room in the Conservatory. It features more than 70 palms, as well as other plants from warm habitats all around the world.
That's it for today, but there are many more pictures from the Conservatory that I would like to share! Next plant and flower post will be photos from the Desert House.
