Olbrich Botanical Gardens features 16 acres
of outdoor display gardens showcasing the beauty of Midwest hardy
plants in a setting of prairie style architecture. Olbrich's Thai
Pavilion and Garden, the only one in the continental United States,
features an innovative tropical garden in the Midwest. In June, 2005
a new Rose Garden opened to the public with mixed borders of Midwest
hardy shrub roses and perennials. The Bolz Conservatory, a sunny
50-foot-high glass pyramid, houses a diverse collection of tropical
plants, a rushing waterfall, free-flying birds, and blooming orchids
year-round. The Botanical Center is complete with a gift shop, horticultural
library, and meeting rooms. Educational classes, programs, and events
for adults and children are offered year round.
