BELLAGIO’S CONSERVATORY CAPTURES ELEMENTS OF EARTH

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is welcoming summer with the debut of its new display, “Eco: A Season of Earthly Awareness running through Aug. 28

Eco: A Season of Earthly Awareness Debuts at the Bellagio

Paying homage to the elements needed for life to flourish, with more than 30,000 flowers and plants, the garden beds are artistically designed to represent earth, wind, water and fire. 

The display is complimentary and open 24 hours daily. 

The West Bed represents the element of earth with the display of Gaia, The Goddess of Earth standing more than 22 feet tall. Surrounding her are two cascading waterfalls. 

The garden is surrounded by blue Hyacinth macaws and two giant passion-flower blossoms, and Scarlet Ibis standing 10-feet tall. 

The South Bed represents the element of water. A large wall of vines, botanicals and floral arrangements descend from the ceiling, becoming the backdrop for a Koi fishpond with streaming waterfalls and flowing fountains. 

Perched on two rocks are two tree frogs and a turtle topiary with fresh-cut flowers. The East Bed represents the element of air. A two-story treehouse towers over the garden inviting guests to walk underneath. A wooden plank walkway spans two parts of the rainforest, and arches delicately designed with botanicals, tree frogs and bright exotic butterfly sculptures offer views from all angles. The North Bed pays tribute to the element of fire, with a Phoenix as the focal point that flies above a volcano spewing steam and molten lava. Among the lush greenery sits a jaguar on a tree branch.
