Description
Beyond the primary glasshouse spaces, the indoor climate branches into distinct environments, including a densely planted aroid house alongside the cactus and fern displays. Across the glass rooms, plant species from around the world share space with quiet wildlife details, from water features filled with fish to birds nestled in the indoor greenery. Outside, the grounds stretch past flower beds to include a dedicated vegetable garden.
