The mission of The Friends is to promote community interest in the Oak Park Conservatory, to offer educational and recreational opportunities, and to support projects which benefit the Conservatory and its visitors.
Our purpose is to deepen and enrich the visitor experience for diverse populations at the Oak Park Conservatory.
