Let’s Stay Connected: May 4 — 10
We at Phipps are always thinking of our members, visitors and friends, and during these uncertain times, we want to provide you with nature's beauty and inspiration, just like we would if you were with us in the glasshouse. Phipps will remain closed through the stay-at-home order, but in the meantime, we're sharing a virtual treasure trove of materials to help you engage with nature, re-experience the wonder of Phipps shows past, make your own gardening plans and more. We appreciate your support of Phipps and look forward to staying in contact in this way!
Membership for Mothers Day Special
A membership to Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens makes a truly extraordinary gift for the mother in your life. Available now through Mother’s Day at a special 10% off discount, membership to Phipps gives mom a full year of access upon Phipps' reopening, including our ever-changing exhibits, unparalleled beauty and serene tranquility.
Nature of Place Symposium Resources
The inaugural Nature of Place Symposium explored the human experience of biophilia and built excitement and appreciation for the importance of green space in cities. In this online resource, contributors present video, written summaries and more to take you inside this important gathering and invite you to join the conversation.
Shop at Our Virtual May Market
While we are unable to hold an in-person May Market this year, many of our incredible vendors are still available to take your order. Check out the website and start your springtime shopping for seasonal plants, handmade goods, fresh food items and more!
New Online Courses Now Available
Whether you are a seasoned green thumb, aspiring floral designer or budding backyard vegetable gardener, we have a class for you — and now some of our most popular courses are available to attend from the comfort of your own home.

Help us Reopen Our Doors at Our Bright, Beautiful Best
While Phipps is closed, we must care for our plants and facilities so that we can continue to be the source of beauty and enrichment we have been to Pittsburgh for over 125 years. If you’re inspired, please show your support today!
