The Franklin Park Conservatory features horticulture from a wide variety of climate zones, as well as large bonsai and orchid collections. Its signature 1895 Victorian glass Palm House and 73,000 square feet of greenhouse is situated in a 90-acre park just east of downtown. As part of its focus on combining fine arts with horticulture, the conservatory is the only botanical garden in the world to own a signature collection from the internationally acclaimed glass artist Dale Chihuly. Special exhibits include an annual living butterfly display.
