Bolz Conservatory Exhibits
Light Gaps
April 13 - July 14, 2013
10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday - Saturday, 10 am.. - 5 p.m. Sunday
The trees are trimmed and the bushes are pruned during annual maintenance in the Bolz Conservatory...now it's time to see the light in the forest! Learn about light and how plants develop and change in the forest as light fluctuates. With more than 650 plants in the Bolz Conservatory, the tropical plants compete for every sunbeam that radiates through the glass pyramid. When a gap in the forest canopy is created naturally, or by a clipping from Olbrich's Conservatory staff, new growth develops at an exceptional rate.
