Hilbert Conservatory
Celebrating the roots of gardening in Indiana, the glass-enclosed Hilbert Conservatory is the site of four seasonal shows per year. The Conservatory is 5,000 square feet in area and 65 feet in height, and it includes a 12-foot high mezzanine level. With its gleaming shape visible in the night sky, the Conservatory is an architectural complement to the downtown skyline. Look for the towering palm trees that are visible as the reach for the peak of the Conservatory. Inside, the center font by sculptor Dale Enochs provides the gentle sounds of flowing water. There are also small ponds with fish to liven up the atmosphere! The Conservatory is named in honor of Stephen and Tomisue Hilbert, lead donors to the project.
