The VP Conservatory is filled with beautiful flowers and plants. It has three unique zones, arid, temperate, and tropical. No matter what time of year, you'll see lots of color, leading lines, and patterns. The glass roof adds to the possibilities for excellent photos.
The Conservatory can get crowded on weekends, especially now that it is free. I recommend one camera and lens. If you have a dedicated macro, use it. But wide angle and medium telephoto lenses work. And point and shoot or phone cameras are fine if the have macro capabilities.
I don't recommend carrying a backpack. You'll constantly be bumping into people, or vice versa.
