About the Olbrich Botanical Gardens
Olbrich Botanical Gardens features 16 acres of outdoor display gardens and a year-round tropical conservatory. The Sunken Garden features regional prairie style terraces, a mix of perennial plants, and an 80-foot reflecting pool. In the two and a half acre Perennial Garden, a meandering stream weaves through a colorful mix of perennial plants hardy to the upper Midwest. Visitors can experience the exquisite artisanship and exotic culture of Thailand in Olbrich’s Thai Pavilion and Garden. The Pavilion is the only one in the continental United Sates. The unique Thai-style garden uses Midwest hardy plants with a tropical feel. In June, 2005 the 50th Anniversary Rose Garden will open to the public with innovate mixed borders of Midwest hardy shrub roses and perennials. Other gardens include the Herb, Rock, Meadow, and Wildflower Gardens. The Bolz Conservatory, a sunny glass pyramid, houses a diverse collection of tropical plants and blooming orchids year-round.
