Manito Park Conservatory
The Gaiser Conservatory was opened and dedicated in 1988 after a
large remodel. Since 1912, several small greenhouses were scattered
about
Manito
Park but in 1974 they
were updated. The central greenhouse was named after Dr. David Gaiser
who was a longtime Park Board Member.
The Gaiser Conservatory is more than just a display house; it
supplies the various gardens in Manito Park
with its plants and flowers. It is centrally located between
the Duncan Garden,
Perennial Garden and
Rose Hill Garden.
The Japanese
Garden is a leisurely walk from the
greenhouse.
Today Gaiser Conservatory is open all year round – which is a big deal
when cold winters dominate one-quarter of the year. It is here that
locals can retreat from cold and find tropical and subtropical plants
from around the world. The brilliantly colored displays and smells are a
treat for the senses.
