RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Three kids inquisitevely peer over and through the railing into the pond and wishing well at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory during its final days Wednesday. The kids are unrelated. Names from left: Addilyn Abdal (2yrs, pink), Nico Kusumoto (2yrs) and Bree Sourkes (11/2yrs, in red with grandpa). The public has just over two months to say goodbye to the Assiniboine Park Conservatory. The conservatory, which park officials say is the first memory many people have of Assiniboine Park, will shut down for good after Easter Monday, Apr. 2nd at 5pm. It first opened in 1914 when many North American cities were constructing indoor tropical gardens, and was rebuilt in 1968. It will make way for the Canada's Diversity Gardens, a horticulture display several times its size and bigger in scope with its theme of cultural and plant diversity. Standup photo March 27, 2018
