The Volunteer Park Conservatory is a historic Victorian-style greenhouse located in Seattle's Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill. Completed in 1912, the conservatory is modeled after London's Crystal Palace and features five distinct display houses: bromeliads, ferns, palms, seasonal, and cacti/succulents.
The structure is a city landmark, celebrated for its elegant glass and iron framework. It houses a world-class collection of plants, including a renowned orchid collection. The conservatory provides a tranquil, lush environment year-round and is a beloved architectural gem within the Olmsted-designed park.
