Get an intimate look at Hillwood’s greenhouse with the experts throughout Orchid Month in March!

Marjorie Post constructed greenhouses to hold her extensive collection of exotic orchids, as well as cut flowers grown for floral arrangements throughout the mansion. Explore the greenhouse to learn about Post’s infatuation with orchids, and the exotic blooms and fragrances on display now.
