Regina Floral Conservatory

With tropical plants, trees and blooms, the Conservatory provides a tranquil setting for Regina residents and visitors to th

The conservatory was founded by the city of Regina during the 1950s as a cluster of three greenhouses which grew plants for the city. A portion of this operation was later opened to the public, so visitors could enjoy an indoor green space. In 1991 a volunteer organization, the Regina Garden Associates (RGA), was formed to operate a small gift shop at the entrance to the public floral display. The city of Regina formed a partnership with the RGA in 1999 to operate and maintain a 315-square-metre (377 sq yd) greenhouse display and oversee special events. The RGA hosts several teas and family days at the conservatory each year and manages the rental of the space for weddings, meetings and other events. In 2002, the greenhouse became known as the Regina Floral Conservatory...
