Botanical Conservatory

The Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory is a year-round public garden dedicated to providing an inspired setting for horticultural, educational, and guest experiences.

Opened in 1983 through the vision of Helene Foellinger and Bill Sowers and the support of community partners, the Botanical Conservatory continues to serve as a welcoming place where people can learn, gather, reflect, and connect with the natural world.

The Botanical Conservatory creates engaging garden experiences through indoor and outdoor plant collections, changing showcase exhibits, educational programs, special events, and community activities.

Guided by a vision of regional excellence, the Botanical Conservatory strives to be innovative, adaptable, goal-focused, and guest-focused in caring for plants, serving visitors, and creating meaningful opportunities to explore the relationship between people and the natural world.
