Come to Phipps jungle-themed Summer Flower Show and also the new Tropical Forest Panama exhibit.

Each day will start with a garden tour where we’ll spy botanical creations of toucans, orangutan and even tiny chameleons hiding throughout the show! Here at Phipps, we love tropical plants! We especially love the form and function of plants in tropical forest and desert habitats. Attend the 30-minute program to learn about the different parts of plants and amazing plant adaptions. During the self-guided tour of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, students can observe the adaptions, several different habitats and plant growth in action. This program includes a 30-minute lesson, self-guided tour and post tour activities to encourage continued enrichment.
