Belle Isle Conservatory Michigan!!!
Hey guys! This Sunday I went to the Belle Isle Conservatory on Belle Isle. I don't like going thru Detroit (it's kinda freaky if ya know what I mean!) but man was it worth it! It's one of the best conservatories in the US and it's FREE!!! It's run by all volunteers. Oh ya! I give all the credit to my sis for taking the pictures!
The main room with three HUGE canary Island date palms (that's what I think it said) that are about 100ft! Seriously, they reach the ceiling! (which is just over 100ft tall). A huge monstera deliciosa cover the biggest one.You can go to my gallery to see them and please comment!!! God Bless! BananaLee Last edited by BananaLee : 10-06-2009 at 06:44 PM. |

Re: Belle Isle Conservatory Michigan!!!
Glad you had a fun experience there! Pictures look great (though pictures never really do real-life any justice, huh?).
