A Look Behind the Scenes
While walking throughout the Reiman Gardens the beautiful and unique displays of plant life can be seen. Many of these displays actually begin in one of the three greenhouses out of site behind the main building. Various collections for the Conservatory and Butterfly Wing as well as items for containers are kept in stock and cared for throughout the year. Other types of plants are grown for a short time and then removed for the outdoor displays. Being surrounded by all these unique plants almost every day is truly fantastic!
Most plants are harmless to humans, but some do have an evolutionary advantage against enemies. The Agavae amnicana ‘Variegata’ is one such plant and is grown at Reiman Gardens. It is shown in the first photo growing in the greenhouse before being placed into the Conservatory, as shown in the second picture. I challenge you to find this plant, but be careful, it’s sharp!
