The Conservatory has a collection of rare orchids and begonias, and many varieties of ferns. In front of the Conservatory is a large flower bed on which various messages adapted to the season or special events are spelled out with flowers. The building, similar to the conservatory in Kew Gardens, London, was bought by popular subscription.

Although the building was seriously damaged in winter storms in 1995-96, it was restored to better-than-new condition in a massive effort and reopened to the public in 2003.
