About Us

The Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), organization whose mission is to promote interest in the Oak Park Conservatory, offer educational and recreational opportunities and support projects that benefit the Oak Park Conservatory.
We have more than 600 members, many of whom are active volunteers at the Conservatory and at FOPCON sponsored events.

We support the Oak Park Conservatory because it is…
A secret garden where families are welcome to learn more about nature.
A green respite during the long Chicago winters.
A place where children can learn more about their world.
A living, historical place in our community.
A place that was saved from a wrecking ball by community activists in the 1970’s.
A place to come together to grow a more beautiful Oak Park.

Visit Oak Park Conservatory and www.fopcon.org to find out more about our programs, events for adults and children, and opportunities to become involved as a volunteer, member or donor.
