Saskatoon's hidden tropical paradise is closing next month for renovations.

For years, the conservatory at the Mendel Building on Spadina Crescent has offered a steamy, verdant getaway in the winter.

It officially closes Oct. 1. This month's display includes Celosia, Martha Washington Geraniums, Angelonia, Zonal Geraniums, Coleus, and ornamental peppers.

It will re-open in late 2018.
