Phipps Conservatory Winter Flower Show extended through January 17

January 5, 2021

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is extending the length of Winter Flower Show: Home for the Holidays through Sun., Jan. 17. Featuring whimsical, elegant and festive displays inside the glowing glasshouse, Home for the Holidays provides a perfect and safe holiday experience for all ages. 

The comforts of home are brought to life in signature Phipps fashion, with beautiful, enchanting blooms greeting guests as they wander through room after room of seasonal splendor. Guests will delight at Phipps’ magical carousel floating on a glassy pond, a cozy cabin sitting snugly amidst a snowy forest of blue, purple, white and silver plants, a topiary animal display that explores winter hibernation habits, and a living room scene featuring furniture — such as armchairs, a grandfather clock, chandeliers and tree skirts — brought to life with plant materials.

Guests can still enjoy the beauty of Phipps displays all from the comfort of home with the Winter Flower Show Virtual Video Tour. This includes a 25-minute video walkthrough of every room in this year’s spectacular show accompanied by festive background music. Plus, an alternate version with special commentary from CEO Richard Piacentini and Associate Director of Exhibitions and designer of Home for the Holidays Jordyn Melino describing what it took to bring the magic of Phipps displays to life.
