In October I was in Cincinnati for work. I enjoyed exploring the city.
Conservatories, greenhouses, and botanical gardens are some of my favorite places to visit when I go to a new city. Here is a look at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio.
What is a conservatory?
a greenhouse for growing or displaying plants
Krohn Conservatory
Krohn Conservatory was opened in 1933 on the land that belonged to Nicholas Longworth. He called it his Garden of Eden. I will highlighting 5 houses and the outside gardens.
Here is a shot of the land as I was walking up to the main building. Gorgeous!
Bonsai Gallery
Although I do like the look of Bonsai plants I didn't spend too much time in this room.
Orchid House
The orchid house is one of my favorites in any conservatory/ botanical garden. The beautiful color and lines make them beautiful subjects for pictures!

Desert House
Next was the Desert house, a place that I was very familiar with being from Arizona. The cool thing about greenhouses is that they can control the amount of moisture. Plants in this house usually receive less than 10 inches of rain a year. Cincinnati usually gets closer to 44 inches a year.

Carnivorous plants
Close to the Orchid house kinda off to the side were some very interesting carnivorous plants.
Palm House
The palm house is the first house that you come to when entering the building. It has lots of green tropical plants and a waterfall. It is recreating a rain forest and has a precipitation of 160 inches which is much, much more than Cincinnati's 44 inches a year.
Fern house
The Fern house was my favorite. I was immediately struck by the beauty of the plants and how they are arranged as I entered the room. Then upon closer investigation I found so many interesting plants that made the whole room a treasure.

Outside gardens
The outside gardens were very beautiful too.

I also met a couple that were from Cincinnati and told me if I went up some stairs by the parking lot I would be able to look out over the river to Kentucky.
These flowers were by the parking at the overlook. Thank you bee for posing for me.

As I was waiting for my Uber to take me back to the conference I took these pictures
