Indoor Walk: Bolz Conservatory at Olbrich Gardens
Jan 10 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Our friend and JSS volunteer, Karen, also volunteers at Olbrich Gardens. I agree with Karen that the Conservatory is “a lovely green, warm, humid environment – such a treasure especially on these cold winter days.” Karen has arranged for someone to greet us and give us some information about the Conservatory to send us off on a walk through.

For more info: http://www.olbrich.org/gardens/conservatory.cfm

The cost is $6 per adult person. Funds have been made available, so please feel free to come as our guest or make contribution in an amount within your budget. Full payment can be made directly to Olbrich when we get there. If using our funds, contact Paul Borowsky (phone and email below).

Stay Home If Sick: Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell or have symptoms of COVID-19.

Face coverings are required indoors, including the Bolz Conservatory, per current PHMDC Emergency Order.
