ALLAN GARDENS CONSERVATORY
In the park, there's an old floral greenhouse,Warm and humid, yet calm and serene house.
Koi cavort in its ponds
Beneath tropical fronds --
Our exotic escape-from-routine house.
Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2023
Authors' Note: We are fortunate to have moved into an apartment building just across the street from a public conservatory whose warm, humid, glass-roofed galleries offer the visitor views and dreams of escape to tropical floral environments. Visits are especially reinvigorating on dark and depressing winter days, and admission is free!
