About Us

About the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory
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 saved from the wrecking ball, where you can bring your family 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 to come together to grow a more beautiful Oak Park.
