Welcome
Botanical conservatories inspire awe and appreciation for the natural world through immersive living plant displays. They are a feast for the senses—where visitors can experience the sound of cascading waterfalls amid lush, fragrant exotic plants from around the world, all housed within soaring glass and steel architecture. Throughout history, conservatories have sparked fascination and wonder, captivating everyone from gardeners and academics to royal patrons of plant exploration. The Caine Conservatory at High Point University carries this botanical legacy forward, creating a new tropical oasis for campus and the surrounding Triad community.
The mission of the Caine Conservatory is to promote the well-being of the campus community through our immersive exotic plant collections; to enhance student education through hands-on experiences in botany and horticulture; and to promote community engagement through volunteer programs, seasonal exhibitions, and educational workshops.
Class Visits
We are a multi-disciplinary learning space dedicated to hosting classes in the arts, sciences, and beyond! HPU faculty and staff are welcome to reserve the conservatory for a special class visit or other event.
