"After... one month, the new Orchid Conservatory at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden has pushed attendance at the Belmont garden to nearly 10 times normal...
January and February have normally been quiet times at the garden, with rarely more than 1,000 visitors during either month... the numbers for the first full month in which the conservatory was open, Jan. 19 to Feb. 19, showed visitors totaled 9,435."
