Volunteer Park Conservatory
One of the nicest things about working at the Seattle Asian Art Museum is that it’s located inside a big city park. On my lunch break, I try to get down to the Volunteer Park Conservatory. It’s just at the end of the drive, past a row of chestnut trees. I have a black thumb myself — I can even kill bamboo — and I’m just in awe of people who can nurture plants. Each room of the conservatory features a different theme: palms, orchids, cacti, etc. My favorites are the carnivorous plants and the massive jade tree.
The conservatory gets decked out for the holidays.
