The interior includes living exhibits, including exotic species, along with work areas and a classroom. Many of the Nature Center's horticultural programs are presented in the greenhouse space. On the southeastern corner of the Greenhouse is a Lath House constructed in 2002-03 as an Eagle Scout project with funding from the Chilton Foundation. It is used to harden off and house plants from the greenhouse. The greenhouse is open to the public.
