The Aquatic House in the Haupt Conservatory is an escape year round, but in winter it takes on the vibe of an oasis. Look for some of the medicinal plants featured in our Wild Medicine exhibition while you’re relaxing to the white noise of falling water.

The season is far from colorless—just look to the yellow, star-like blooms of the winter jasmine to carry you through the snowflake months.
