Gardens: Conservatory

Often used interchangably with "greenhouse", conservatories are large metal or plastic structures with walls of glass that was traditionally meant to house rare plants and animals, or tropical flora in locations where colder climates make it difficult to grow such plants.

Many botanical gardens will have at least one of these stuctures for housing younger plants that need special care or a different climate than the surrounding gardens - smaller private ones are also found on larger estates or near houses, although they will be most often called a greenhouse in those cases.

Below are the gardens in this category, listed by region:
