The building copies the Spanish mission architectural style, measuring 30 x 15 metres and originally costing 4,000 pounds. The Conservatory is a vital part of the City's commitment to excellence in horticulture. There are five separate displays each year. It is visited by tourists, schools, families and anyone who wants to capture a moment of floral beauty.
Showing now are spectacular displays of Cineraria and Cyclamens.

I have lived in Melbourne for 80% of my adult life and have never been to the Conservatory in the Fitzroy Gardens *hangs head in shame*. The front looks very different from other Melbourne buildings of the same age - really lovely!
