"This was probably my favorite part of the botanical gardens, although the entire site is great. I really liked the architectural and landscaping design. They also do a good job of labeling different plants and showing different ecosystems. Actually helpful to see what plants are local and to give gardening ideas."
"These greenhouses are really great to explore and there is a lot to see. SO many different types of plants that are really wonderful. It seems that every time I go back there is something new to see. The look of it is also great. It just stands out so much that you can't help but stare and look at it all."
"Built in 1988, this distinctive greenhouse complex stands out above the rest of the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Each of the five uniquely shaped greenhouses contains a mix of tropical plants such as desert succulents, ferns, palms and orchids. The conservatory has won numerous awards for both its design as well as exhibits."
