Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and the immersive Tropical Forest

Posted by Rob N TN on February 22, 2026, 1:44 pm, in reply to "Phips trip "

Hi Jason, the photos are amazing and a very nice one too. You, Jenn and the boys. So glad you all could make time for an escape and enjoy a conservatory trip to the big city.
Tom has documented his family trips to the Phipps over the years and it must be one of the best in the country. Always enjoyed seeing it through his lenses. The trunk on that Date Palm is pure tropical candy and especially with those flowering plants all around the conservatory, a must-see for its stunning 14-room Victorian glasshouse.
There are Yucca faxoniana there but Pennsylvania (especially western PA) is well noted for beautiful healthy displays of Y. Color Guard Filamentosa as seen in the courtyards after a fairly bad winter. I hope the butterflies were active.
wow The powerful Allegheny River is noted for providing the most populous freshwater mussel habitat in the world and by volume, the main headstream of both the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. A monster in the science of Potamology.
Thanks.
