MARJORIE MCNEELY
CONSERVATORY
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA
Lushly exhibiting more
than 2,000 plant species,
this conservatory offers an
immersive tropical plant
experience. The popular
Sunken Garden is split in two
by a keyhole-shaped ribbon
of water and is filled with
seasonal flowers throughout
the year. Come in the spring
to see swaths of colors as
tulips, daffodils and lilies
bloom. The palm dome
houses more than 150 palms.
There visitors can sit, relax
and savor the sun streaming
through the glass ceiling. In
the fern room, the misting
system creates a humid
atmosphere that is pleasant
and awakens the senses.
