Olbrich Botanical Gardens

Surrounded by limestone terraces and hedges, it contains an 80-foot (24 m) long reflecting pool – designed to connect the garden thematically with nearby Lake Monona.

This garden has a shallow reflecting pool near the pavilion and is filled with small examples of Thai sculpture.

[3] A Rock Garden is constructed of a rocky hill, designed to simulate a mountain slope.

A Meadow Garden combines perennial grasses, wildflowers, and plants grown from bulbs.

In addition to the tropical plants, the conservatory is home to species of birds including canaries, waxbills and quail.

[5] While admission to Olbrich Botanical Gardens is free, a small fee is charged for entry into the conservatory.
