Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, a great steel and glass Victorian greenhouse, has been inviting visitors to explore the beauty and mysteries of plants since 1893. Set amidst one of Pittsburgh's largest greenspaces, Schenley Park, Phipps Conservatory stands as a cultural and architectural centerpiece of the city's Oakland neighborhood. Phipps is one of the region's most vibrant, thriving cultural attractions, bringing fresh perspectives and artists into its historic glasshouse environment. Phipps is also a strong advocate for advanced green-building practices, sustainable gardening and a new environmental awareness. Phipps is home to the Center for Sustainable Landscapes, an ultra-green building that met the stringent Living Building Challenge.
