Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens

Situated along the banks of our beautiful Rock River, Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens brings the tropics to the Midwest.

The facility is the third largest conservatory in Illinois, offering an 11,000-square-foot plant exhibition area complete with water features, seating areas, and sculptures, all in a tropical plant setting.

The beauty continues outdoors with the Eclipse Lagoon, complete with two fountains and a waterfall, pedestrian bridge, patio areas, and walkway connecting the Conservatory to the Sinnissippi Rose Garden.

What’s your favorite butterfly? Clayton is the Manager of Business Operations at NCG and his favorite butterfly is the Tiger Longwing. Tiger Longwings are native to southern North America and Central America and feed on passionflower vines as caterpillars. Like other longwing butterflies, Tiger Longwings not only feed on nectar as adult butterflies, but also pollen, giving them and extra protein boost that helps them live a little longer than most adult butterflies. #favoritebutterfly #simplyspringncg
