Mitchell Park Domes

Mitchell Park Domes Experience a desert oasis, a tropical jungle and floral gardens at Milwaukee's living plant museum. Visit us year-round, from Wed-Sun.

Plants make people happy, and with thousands of wild and wonderful plants growing and blooming inside our tropical, desert and floral domes, it's no surprise that our living museum is one of Milwaukee's most loved destinations. The floral display in the Floral Show Dome changes five times each year. Check the website for the latest theme. The Domes are also available to rent for your special occasion. To discuss renting contact the contracted vendor, Zilli Hospitality Group at (262) 547-9447 or visit http://www.zillihospitalitygroup.com/

Congratulations to Emily, Mel and the entire Domes horticultural team for creating another captivating floral Fall Show.

Ease into our crystalline pyramid--the Show Dome--and be transported to ancient Egypt where, with a bit of imagination, you'll find yourself in communion with the pharaohs. "Treasures of the MUMmies" is the deliberately punny title for this elaborate exhibit: nearly 3,000 individual mum plants comprise the multihued floral bed.

On your next visit to the Mitchell Park Horticulture Conservatory, the Domes https://milwaukeedomes.org, take time to check out the beautiful entry garden designed by Roy Diblik author of The Know Maintenance Perennial Garden to support beneficial insects, be low maintenance and drought tolerant. The white flowers are calamint (Clinopodium nepeta nepeta formerly Calamintha nepeta nepeta) a long blooming, heat and drought tolerant bee favorite perennial hardy in zones 5 (possibly parts of 4) through 7.

The Land of the Pharoahs comes to vivid life in "Treasures of the MUMmies," our golden Fall Show. Flex your imagination as you stroll the paths leading past the treasures of the tombs. Nearly 3,000 individual mum plants comprise the floral bed, along with marigolds, gazanias, and two plants that were indispensable in Egyptian culture: Papyrus 'King Tut,' used for paper and cloth; also Centaurea 'Jubilee Gem.'
