It’s time again for another conservatory tour. And once again, it is in Toronto.  Couldn’t think of a better way to spend an hour on a cold day than in a toasty conservatory surrounded by plants.

I am repotting my Kalanchoe ‘Fang” ASAP after seeing this huge one. I would love for mine to get this big and repotting is way overdue.

Look at what they did to the polka dot plant. Never seen it presented like this.

    Lovely – thanks for sharing! I used to work very close to this conservatory…it’s a shame I didn’t spend a few lunch breaks there 🙁

      I can never get enough of conservatories. Ottawa has a very small one here which is great but is closed on weekends!!! So I can’t get to enjoy it as much as I would like. 🙁
