The Orchid Show: Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens

March 3-April 22, 2012

About The Orchid Show

Renowned botanist and vertical gardening provocateur Patrick Blanc creates towering spectacles of tropical life. Dangling from Blanc's signature ''green walls,'' thousands of orchids abandon the constraints of gravity. In an explosion of alluring color and fragrance, exotic plant walls rise high above the Conservatory's Reflecting Pool and Seasonal Exhibition Galleries.
