Since the grand opening in January 2018, thousands of visitors, employees and public visitors alike, have enjoyed The Spheres’ indoor cloud forests.

After months of planning, the team broke ground on The Spheres.
It wasn’t until when that seed was planted. “Our goal with The Spheres was to create a unique gathering place where employees could collaborate and innovate together, and where the Seattle community could gather to experience biodiversity in the center of the city,” said John Schoettler, Amazon Vice President of Global Real Estate and Facilities.Ībout a year later, the horticulture team began to fulfill the vision of the indoor garden by gathering and growing the plants in the off-site greenhouse. An indoor garden from the start, The Spheres were envisioned as a curved glass building filled with plants and tall trees. Several years ago, The Spheres were only a seed of an idea. With more than 40,000 plants from around the world, The Spheres showcase biodiversity in the heart of Seattle.
