Review:
Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the largest conservatory and botanical garden parks in the United States, originally created in 1907 by landscape architect Jens Jensen. The facility, which was designed as an attempt to create the world's largest publicly-owned botanical conservatory, spans more than 4.5 acres today in Chicago's Garfield Park, presenting eight indoor garden displays showcasing a wide variety of exotic and native plant species. It has been named today as one of the American Institute of Architects' 200 Great Places in Illinois and has won significant international museum awards, including the prestigious National Medal for Museum and Library Services. Visitors can enter the conservatory for free daily and view notable plant holdings, including a collection of bicentennially-aged cycads and an expansive palm tree collection.
