Allan Gardens Conservatory
To escape the cold and forget winter for a bit, I made a visit to the conservatory at Allan Gardens and this is the beautiful Palm House, the original part of the structure which was built in 1910. The conservatory consists of 5 greenhouses and covers over 16,000 sq ft. I'll be showing you some inside shots for the next few days to help all of us northern hemisphere people warm up.

Love this one!
That sounds like a perfect place to go to escape the cold. It would be like entering a tropical forest.
Great idea!
Sounds and looks like a great place to grab a bit of warmth!
Oh I'll be looking forward to seeing inside.
It's a beautiful building. I don't think I've ever been in that part of the city. I'll have to check it out.
What a terrific place! I love the old conservatories. I don't need the dose of summer as much as those up north do, but I'm glad to traipse along behind you for this visit.
neat place!
Can't wait to see what's inside!
Oh it's wonderful! I'll be happy to step inside!
Having had looked at a map, it's a lot closer to the downtown than I had realized. I will have to stop by the next time I'm down there.
These are lovely, warm places in winter. There is a similar conservatory in Chicago containing palms, tropical plants, and an orchid room where I use to temporarily escape winter chills. Lovely photo.
What a beautiful place.
Very nice. The structures remind me of some in Paris. It's huge and I would guess a wonderful place to spend some time during the winter months!
What a lovely looking building. Beautiful design.
I really LOVE Allan Gardens! I look forward to seeing what's inside as I have not been there for awhile.
What a gorgeous old building Pat, looks like it's well maintained. Love the domes.. going up to look inside now :)
