*Phipps Conservatory*

Hey It's Niecy B. here to fill you guys in on the Bioneers exciting trip to the Phipps Conservatory yesterday afternoon. The Phipps Conservatory is a very interesting, and fascinating place there are so many different rooms of the greenhouse, and so many different things in each room.

Everytime i walked into a room i was amazed. The first thing that caught my eye was the Gargoyles for those of you who don't know what those are, they are statues that are used as pieces of art to let us know about the people in the 1700's and what they believed in. These Gargoyles were used back then to scare away evil, and also to remind city dwellers of the perils of evil, and scare them straight.

I found these to be interesting because i'd never seen these up close, i've always seen them on television, or on top of the buildings around town so it was a great experience to learn about them and see them up close and personal.

The second thing i noticed was the different types of plants, Trees, and flowers there were so many heres a few to name a Vanilla Orchid, Weeping Cherry Tree, and the Spider Plant to be honest i would have never known about those plants if it wasn't for the Phipps Conservatory it taught me alot of new things it was a fun, and it was a beautiful place, I have to say the room I liked the most was the butterfly room, that room to me was the most beautiful place in the whole conservatory there were so many different kinds of butterflys it was gorgeous I loved it. It was so calm and serene definately a room i'd like to visit more often.

All in All Phipps Conservatory was a great, educational, evironmentally fun place that i'd love to go back and visit anytime.
