Rick, a retired gas utilities engineering manager and consultant, has been volunteering at the Garden for 18 years. He was elected to the Garden’s Board of Directors in 2009 and has served on various committees, including Governance, Planning and Development, and Communications and Membership.

His energy and enthusiasm are contagious and he’s an outstanding ambassador and advocate for the Garden.”

The landscaping of the Conservatory is coming together beautifully.
The Conservatory is home to one of the world’s most diverse indoor collections of cacti and succulents and makes for a great, warm escape from the cold during the long months ahead! Stayed tuned for opening dates.
Although the Garden is open all year, certain services are not available again until spring/summer. The Conservatory lobby and restrooms are closed due to maintenance, but the terrace building at No. 5 on the brochure map has restrooms that will be available throughout the winter, including during your dawn or dusk adventures! The Gift Shop and Cafe are closed for the season, but stay tuned as occasional winter hours are announced.
The Garden is open year-round! Although fewer attractions are available in winter, as a non-profit organization the Garden appreciates support as all visits benefit our mission. You can purchase a day pass or annual membership. Passes, memberships and gift certificates make for great holiday presents and can be made in the recipient’s name. Please contact Jennifer at visitorsservices@peacegarden.com.
