Volunteer Park Conservatory

Now that the REALLY rainy season is upon us, we have been trying to find "inside" things to do on the weekends.  We ran across the Volunteer Park Conservatory.  The actual building was built in 1912, so 2012 is its 100 year anniversary.  It is a very interesting structure and the history that goes along with it and the surrounding area is quite historical as well.  Here's the snapshot of the building...


It has a couple of different "wings" and the plants inside are quite impressive.  Thankfully considering that we spent so much time in Arizona -- a lot of the plants were very familiar.
