Overview

The Garfield Park Conservatory is proudly located on Chicago’s West Side and is one of the largest and most stunning conservatories in the world, and it’s free. Often referred to as landscape art under glass, the Garfield Park Conservatory occupies approximately 12 acres inside and out, and includes cold frames and propagating where thousands of plants are grown each year for displays in City parks and spaces. The Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance (GPCA) changes lives through the power of nature. We offer classes on growing, beekeeping, composting, and various art mediums, in addition to monthly lectures and yoga. Most programs are free or scholarships are available.
