The Muttart Conservatory is a well-known botanical garden in Edmonton, Alberta. Located in the North Saskatchewan River valley, it features four glass pyramids, each housing different plant environments. Three pyramids represent distinct climates: tropical, temperate, and arid regions. The fourth pyramid hosts seasonal displays that change throughout the year.
Inside, visitors can explore over 700 plant species from around the world. The Tropical pyramid showcases lush greenery like palms and orchids. The Arid pyramid features desert plants such as cacti. The Temperate pyramid contains species from regions like the southern Great Lakes and parts of Asia.
Designed by architect Peter Hemingway, the conservatory opened in 1976 and has become an iconic part of Edmonton's skyline. In addition to the plant displays, the facility offers a gift shop and Café Bloom, which serves a variety of food and beverages.
