Lincoln Park Conservatory

Lincoln Park Conservatory Based on the design of architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee, this beautiful Victorian glass house was built

Owned and operated by the Chicago Park District, the Lincoln Park Conservatory is a beautiful marriage of glass and iron constructed between 1890 and 1895. The structure is divided into four houses featuring palms, ferns, orchids, and various seasonal displays for spring, summer, and the winter holidays. No matter the time of year, however, visitors can feast both eyes and noses alike on a vast a

rray of fruits and blooms representing all corners of the globe. It is a wonderfully warm and inviting space to bring out-of-towners or to just sit and read a book in the dead months of winter. It is, after all, always 75 degrees here at Lincoln Park Conservatory.

With a little help from our friends and the Sausage Tree (Kigelia africana) at the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee (https://www.mitchellparkdomes.com), we use their tree's pollen to pollinate our Sausage Tree by hand. Here, the pollen from their tree is brushed onto our flowers’ stamens. Fingers crossed that baby sausage fruit will appear!!
