Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens’ Winter Flower Show returns for the 2023 holiday season. The Pittsburgh conservatory and botanical gardens features an array of holiday trees, topiaries, designs and lights.
Floral displays include amaryllis, orchids and more than 20 varieties of poinsettias. Back this year is the magnificent and peaceful Winter Light Garden, complete with lighted orbs, trees, fountains and a tunnel of lights.
Indoors, be sure to check out the “Garden Railroad: Our National Parks” with miniature recreations of national parks.
It’s important to note that even if you’ve been to a Phipps’ holiday season event before, the displays change every holiday season!
Phipps says NEW features this year include:
- a gorgeous greeting into the holiday season, with marvelous metallics, twinkling trees and fantastic flora;
- a 7-foot tree decked out in warm white lights and striking jewel tones atop oversized gift boxes;
- a flickering fireplace beside a topiary cat curled up on a succulent armchair;
- a floral color scheme of light pink, blue and silver in planter boxes around a frosty tree comprised of dazzling LED orbs shining bright;
- a Winter Solstice-inspired display brought to life with glowing ring frames rising above cut branches, fierce red and orange flora, and a 10′ tall red anthurium tree;
- whimsical gnomes constructed from dried plant material decorating a tree with berry garlands, mushrooms and pinecones;
- spectacular LED fireworks glimmer over a sea of poinsettias in bold hues of pink, lime green, peach and blue;
- a new “singing tree” in our Winter Light Garden that reacts to your caroling
Garden Railroad
