Conservatory and Butterfly House at Stan Hywet Hall

After we toured the gardens of the Stan Hywet Estate, we walked through the Grape Arbor and wandered down to the Citrus Conservatory.  The conservatory was lovely and had great information about growing citrus and the history of citrus.  It also had a wonderful exhibit of hand blown glass by Bob Pozarski on display.

Peninsula Art Academy studio artist and instructor Bob Pozarski is an instructor and artist at Peninsula Art Academy.  Bob was asked to add color to an exhibit of citrus trees under glass at the conservatory.   Dozens of citrus colored glass orbs hang from the ceiling and his vases share space with the plant.  We loved the leaded glass windows too!
