The Botanical Buiding in Balboa Park, San Diego, California, is filled with the most beautiful and vibrant flowers from around the world. It's a happy place to visit.
About the BALBOA PARK BOTANICAL BUILDING
The view of the Botanical Building with the Lily Pond in the foreground is one of the most photographed scenes in Balboa Park and a "must-see" destination in San Diego. Built for the 1915-16 Exposition, along with the adjacent Lily Pond, the historic building is one of the largest lath structures in the world. The Botanical Building plantings include more than 2,100 permanent plants, featuring fascinating collections of cycads, ferns, orchids, other tropical plants, and palms. The Botanical Building also presents some of the Park's vibrant seasonal flower displays.
The only known conservatory in the world built with no glass (only wood lath) is located in San Diego's Balboa Park. Balboa Park's history dates back to 1868 but it wasn't until city leaders, planning for the First World's Fair: The 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition, that Balboa Park and many of its modern-day tourist attractions, including the Botanical Building, were built. The Botanical Building is also one of the largest lath structures in the world.
The top middle section of the Botanical Building is separated from the side wing barrel vaults by a large arch that surrounds straight vertical laths. This arch is topped by a dome, which is crowned by a graceful open cupola. The vaults and dome are held together by steel trusses that support 70,000 feet of curved redwood lath that follows the shape of the building.
