Planterra Conservatory is a glass-enclosed botanical event venue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, built around a structure imported from Izegem, Belgium, with European trusses and soaring glass ceilings. Since opening in 2010 — built on a history stretching back to 1973, when Planterra Interior Landscaping began from a private greenhouse on the former Sanders estate in Bloomfield Hills — the conservatory has become one of Michigan's most recognized celebration spaces, named one of the "Best Venues in America" by Brides Magazine and one of the "22 Best Garden and Wedding Venues in the World" by Harper's Bazaar. Inside, guests move through an environment of vertical gardens, tranquil koi ponds, and curated botanical collections from around the world.
