For the first time in the 30+ year history of the gardens, the Crystal Bridge Conservatory is undergoing a complete renovation. Previously ADG Blatt renovated the south lobby giving it a contemporary aesthetic.

This $9.7 million project will have many updates and upgrades to enhance the garden’s experience improving layouts, educational exhibits and improving on ADA Blatt accessibility. During the renovation, existing tropical plants were preserved to replant once the tube is ready. The gardens include 13,000 sf of dedicated plant space with tropical wet zones and tropical dry zones.

“The improvements planned for the Bridge will ensure that it is as world-class as the outdoor spaces in the Gardens. This more dynamic conservatory renovation takes full advantage of the major downtown development just south of the Gardens, including Scissortail Park, the Convention Center and Omni Hotel. With new educational features planned for the conservatory, learning experiences will be enriched for all ages and contribute to the long-term financial sustainability of the Gardens.” Maureen Heffernan, CEO of Myriad Gardens and Scissortail Park Foundations.
