Edmonton's premier horticultural attraction has opened its doors featuring four glass pyramids filled with more than 700 species of plants from arid, temperate and tropical climates. These rare and wonderful plants come from all over the world. The renovated attraction has a new outdoor courtyard will take programming to new levels as the educational experience can be transported to the great outdoors.
The Tropical Pyramid has been renovated to create a setting that is now completely wheelchair accessible. The new waterfall, stone work and plants create a tranquil environment for study and reflection. The Arid and Temperate pyramids have been refreshed with new and unique plant material and the Feature pyramid showcases the “All Jazzed Up” theme, which will be on display until September 27.
A new café and gift shop have been moved to the front of the building to better serve Muttart visitors and to allow easy access for the community.
The Conservatory reopened June 27, 2009 after a $6.3 million investment.
