What a Great Place - Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, a great steel and glass Victorian greenhouse, has been inviting visitors to explore the beauty and mysteries of plants since 1893.

In recent decades, Phipps has evolved into one of the region's most vibrant, thriving cultural attractions, bringing fresh perspectives and artists into our historic glasshouse environment. Phipps has also become a strong advocate for advanced green-building practices, sustainable gardening and a new environmental awareness.

Your next color inspiration could be from the great outdoors

Your next color inspiration could be from the great outdoors. Just driving around this time of the year is exciting. The spring fever bug hits hard and gets the creative urges moving again. Take a look at the surroundings among you. Spring colors remind me of something new and fresh. Its like starting over again. So stop 'putting off' what you want to get done. Make it happen! Go to your own garden, state parks, botanical gardens, greenhouses, etc. Find things you like and  take pictures or buy them.  Have fun.
