living collection of plants from around the world, maintained for
research, educational and aesthetic purposes. This collection includes
orchids, bromeliads, cacti and succulents, ferns, aquatic plants,
begonias, ivies, as well as many other tropical, subtropical and
temperate plants. The warm, humid Conservatory, which contains larger
tropical specimens such as banana plants, bamboo, ficus, and palms
