About

Set in a landmark building — the oldest public wood-and-glass conservatory in North America — the Conservatory of Flowers inspires awe and fascination with its rare and exotic plant collection. The Conservatory of Flowers is a national, state, and local landmark and a place of exceptional beauty. Built in 1879, the Conservatory was the first formal structure erected in Golden Gate Park and remains an internationally renowned icon, displaying and cultivating unusual plants to heighten awareness of: the pressing need to preserve threatened rainforest environments, ethnobotany, and biodiversity, and to foster enjoyment of ornamental horticulture. The Conservatory is now part of the Gardens of Golden Gate Park.
