Growing With The Thymes

December 1st - 7th, 2020

"Where flowers bloom, so does hope..." - Lady Bird Johnson

Lady Bird Johnson dedicated the Domes in 1965. Now, in 2020 we are hopeful, with your support, that the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory will continue to grow and prosper.

As a result of the six month closure of the Conservatory due to COVID-19, revenue streams have been severely depleted. Community support is more critical than ever to maintain a vibrant and growing conservatory and to provide educational opportunities for our students and families.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
