Phipps Green
For more than 125 years, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens has excelled in showcasing beauty. Today, this history of excellence serves as a platform to demonstrate that people, plants, health, planet and beauty are inextricably interconnected, and that sustainable action — from the construction of the world’s greenest building to the planting of a raised-bed vegetable garden in a backyard — is the key to ensuring that these critical interconnections are harmonious, mutually beneficial, healthy and preserved for future generations.

TEDxPhipps Conservatory
In collaboration with TEDxPointParkUniversity, Phipps President and CEO Richard Piacentini spoke in 2019 about what we can learn from an old glasshouse. Phipps has evolved with the times, and despite being over 125 years old, stands firmly on the cutting edge of eco-friendly operation, construction and action. By tracing Phipps' distant and more recent history, Piacentini demonstrates the value and feasability of green action on the part of organizations and individuals alike.
