  • Conservatory Light Show

    Enjoy our winter light show, Photosynthesis: Love for All Seasons, beginning 30 minutes after sunset every night. The light show transforms the outside of the Conservatory into a canvas for colorful light art installed by Lumigeek accompanied by music composed by Tim Digulla. The show is free to the public and is about 30 minutes long. Bundle up and enjoy from our front lawns!

    Photosynthesis: Love for All Seasons will continue to run during the Conservatory's closure for annual maintenance from January 10, 2024 to January 24, 2024. Enjoy!
