Como Conservatory
(A Minute Poem) At Como Conservatory Nature's glory Within and out Beauty's about Surrounding parkland greets the eye Brings forth a sigh Color galore Lets spirits soar A tiny taste of what's inside Where treasures hide Cherished jewel Where colors rule |

The Como Park Conservatory, named after Marjorie McNeeley, is a true gem of St. Paul. The grounds around it contain several lovely garden spots. I took this photograph from across the street. Around it are some floating gardens. Inside are several beautiful rooms of ferns and flowers that include fountains and sunken gardens.
