That looks like a great place to visit John, especially in the middle of winter. All the parrots are really cool too, nice tropical touch.

Bill

Beautiful pics John, thanks.

I hear they're short of money to maintain it...
Lay off a few bureaucrats or don't let politicians buy new office furniture...the conservatory is more important!

So there... 😡

I'm stunned.

the Vancouver Parks Board has voted to shut down the Bloedel Conservatory...too expensive!
How many parks board directors do they need?
Reduce to one, and put the rest of the money into the conservatory.

Barb

It is a crappy decision. How the hell do other cities keep their conservatories running. I wonder what they are going to do with all the plants and birds. This part they have not mentioned.

John

Other cities have their priorities figured out.

How do you close a place like that down?
Stop feeding the parrots,stop watering the plants?
I know George Bush spent all our money here in the states,didn't know he spent yours too! 😯

What a bunch of S#!T, seriously how could they close a place like that down. What a shame! You guys up there should try and get a few plants and parrots from them.

Bill

It's sucks. 👿 Never even had the chance to take my kids there.

Here`s the kicker the six parks board members that voted to shut it down are in line for a 4% raise 2010. That exceeds the amount it would take to keep the conservatory running . GREED! 😈

😆 yea and don't forget the man we have now is spending more money than all the others before him combined. 🙄

That sucks! What a cool place, I think I would show up to a few board meetings. 😡

Maybe if something happened to him they could keep it open 😉

I hope they keep it open, and I wish we had something like that here. 😡

Jeez, I doubt I could afford to buy ANY of those valuable plants if they had a humongous sale...or a parrot for that matter.

But I might have a few sheckles for part of their conservatory ROOF...hmmmmm.

I'd give my teeth for a conservatory...a real one you can stand up in and go for a walk in, bigger than a house.
Dreams only! 😥
