Garden Safari

06-03-2023 09-10-2023 DURING GENERAL ADMISSION & SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS

Take a safari to observe the animals of the Conservatory's Topiary Collection in their natural habitat.

Thirty larger-than-life animal topiaries will be on display this summer! Explore the Conservatory Courtyards, Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children's Garden and Grand Mallway to discover topiaries filled with plants and colorful moss that mimic the colors and textures of fur, skin, scales and feathers.

In addition to returning favorites, many of the topiaries are returning to display for the first time in years!

Symbolically Adopt An Animal

Will you help us care for these beautiful horticultural creatures with a symbolic adoption? This unique opportunity is a great way to celebrate an animal you love or makes a great gift! Your gift of $500 or more adopts an animal and will be recognized on signage next to the topiary for the duration of Garden Safari.
