Omschrijving
When visiting the superb public gardens of
London. New York or Paris, it is hard to remember
that the magnificent palaces and cathedrals of
soaring glass that we so admire today began life as
simple mobile shelters for precious plants brought
back from the tropics. It was the nobility's taste for
exotic fruit that led to the creation of ever more
elaborate and extravagant greenhouses and conservatories.
The nineteenth century saw the expansion
of public gardens open to all, and the birth of such
ambitious creations as the Crystal Palace and Kew
Gardens in London. Today, the public greenhouse
plays a vital role in sheltering rare and endangered
species as part of breeding programs, while grand
creations like the Eden Project in Cornwall or
Montreal's Biodôme are paving the way to the
future.
The private greenhouse or conservatory,
although on a smaller scale, can be just as
enchanting. It is a place to relax, to be with
friends, to escape from the stresses of everyday
living. Take inspiration from this beautifully
illustrated book to create your own masterpiece,
big or small, modern or traditional. Whether
you have space for a separate greenhouse in your
own grounds or simply decide to roof over a
terrace or balcony with glass. Greenhouses and
Conservatories will help you make the best of
the space available.
Olivier de Vleeschouwer has written several
novels and stories for children, as well as gardening
books. He is co-author of Flower Arranging in the
French Style (Flammarion, 1998).
