Feast your eyes on orchid blooms and 600 varieties of tropical plants from around the world. Enjoy a tranquil moment watching the fish and turtles while listening to the water flowing into the fresh water ponds.

The greenhouse is covered with double walled polycarbonate to help conserve heat and discourage vandalism. The north wall shares solar energy and releases the heat during the night. A motor-operated shading curtain conserves heat in the winter and controls the heat build-up in the summer. A high pressure fogging system assists with evaporative cooling and supplies moisture to maintain high humidity for the tropical plants.
