The Botanical Building In Balboa Park

I hadn't been to San Diego in almost 20 years and decided that a road trip south was long overdue. In early March I threw a bag in the car and met up with my coworker Lucy who lives there (we work remotely -- ahhh, the beauty of the internet). A wonderful day was spent in Balboa Park which you might know of as being home to the famous San Diego Zoo. We skipped the zoo and the museums and romped around the gardens instead. The Botanical Building, built for the Exposition in 1915, was originally meant to be a pleasure resort. It ultimately ended up being an "open air" conservatory.

I wanted to do a video & blog post about the Botanical Building not because it is the most impressive conservatory I've been to, like Kew Gardens or the Glass Houses in Berlin, but because it is the only one without glass. Yes, those are strips of wood in between the supports and with its center dome rising up to 50′, makes it one of the largest lath structures in the world.

This building underwent a complete renovation in 2002 to the tune of ten times the original cost. San Diego's climate is so beautiful who wants to be indoors -- there's so much to enjoy outdoors in this beautiful 1200 acre urban park.

There is a blog post that go along with this video also entitled "The Botanical Building in Balboa Park". You'll see more of the plants inside this lath conservatory along with their names.
