I love the Volunteer Park Conservatory, and I was very distressed to find out that it is in danger of being closed, in these challenging economic times. The glass building dates back to 1912 and is a wonderful place to go and explore. There are 5 separate "houses" within the conservatory: Palms, Ferns, Cacti, Bromeliads, and the Seasonal Display House, with a variety of flowers.

I hope you enjoy these images. There is always more to discover in Nature, even if it is inside of a greenhouse. Nature has personally given me solace and joy in its beauty, fascination in its intricacy and the deep inspiration of witnessing endless creative innovation. Through my walks in our parks, beside the water, and under the sky, I cannot help but feel the deep connectedness between all Life. I wish this solace and happiness for you, too.
Blessings,
Linda
