volunteer park conservatory
September 24th and 25th
The Volunteer Park Conservatory is a botanical garden and conser-vatory located in Seattle, Wash-ington at the north end of Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill.
The City’s Parks Department staff erected the building, com-pleting the work in 1912. In 1922, the conservatory added growing greenhouses in order to grow and propagate plants
Made up of 3,426 glass panes fit into a wood and iron framework, this Victorian-style greenhouse structure is modeled on London's Crystal Palace. Inside, the Volunteer Park Conservatory is divided into five display houses: bromeliads, ferns, palms, seasonal, and cacti and succulents.
