Thank goodness the city did not need to shut down this wonderful attraction after Van Dusen gardens stepped in to save it. This is another attraction in Vancouver that we love to go to as a family. A tropical place on the coldest Vancouver days the "Igloo Garden" as our daughter calls the Conservatory is anything but an Igloo. A huge collection of tropical plants and succulents is displayed here with a few surpriises thrown in. If you're lucky, Art, Charlie, Rosie, Carmen and their friends might say a word or two to you, or if you're really lucky boost your ego with a wolf whistle. Now that its safe again, come on down to the Blodel Conservatory and discover why this place was worth saving.
