The winter garden is full of texture from ornamental grasses, barks, and seed pods. The Marjorie K. Daugherty Conservatory is bursting with lush, green foliage in the tropical house, while the floral display hall is full of colorful poinsettias.

The last few years have given artist Mary Mancuso time to experiment with her art. Through her processes, she discovered the beauty of wildflowers and weeds, especially during the seasonal phases. This exhibit is comprised of several groups of paintings that celebrate these discoveries, including “My Garden at Midnight,” “Dried But Not Forgotten,” and “World of Weeds.”

Thousands of poinsettias bursting with rich, vibrant color fill the floral display hall in a glowing tribute to the holidays during the spectacular holiday poinsettia show, Merry & Bright.

Set a merry mood with friends and family and explore the illuminated indoor gardens. From a 20’ tall poinsettia tree to a tropical paradise, see festive installations that glow and shine, showcasing nature in a new light. Timed tickets are required for this event.
