Learn About the Plants
With more than 1,000 different species of cloud forest plants from around the world, The Spheres living collection highlights the planet’s biodiversity and explores the value of conservation in an urban environment.
To support the level of biodiversity in The Spheres, the Amazon horticulture team works behind the scenes in a nearby greenhouse in Redmond, WA. Plants routinely rotate between The Spheres and the greenhouse throughout the seasons. Like The Spheres, this greenhouse is filled with cloud forest species from around the world, ranging from tiny begonias and orchids to large tree ferns and aloes. Explore some of our diverse plant species in the gallery below.
The plants in The Spheres are organized into a number of collections. From the vertical gardens of the Canyon Living Wall to the flora-filled Fernery, each collection provides unique green spaces for employees and visitors to learn and stay curious. Two prominent aquariums call The Spheres home, and the building features several vivaria and terrariums housing multiple species of reptiles and amphibians.
