Crystal Palaces, American Garden Conservatories by Anne S.

America has an abundance of exceptional examples; many have been designated National Historic Landmarks. Crystal Palaces is the first book on garden conservatories in the United States from the Victorian-era structure in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to the recently completed Quad City Conservatory in Rock Island, Illinois. Twenty-five conservatories are presented in detail through lavish color photos and evocative descriptions. |

Greenhouses and Conservatories - Olivier de Vleeschouwer
Greenhouses and conservatories have a long and distinguished history. Starting in ancient China and the Roman Empire, the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw them housing rare and treasured spices and fruits from the colonies that were quite literally worth their weight in gold. Some of the most spectacular examples were commissioned by kings and queens, like the stunning organgeries at Versailles or Victoria's Crystal Palace that housed the first International Exhibition, symbolizing the glory and pride of an era. Olivier de Vleeschouwer's fascinating text examines the role of greenhouses and conservatories, in public and in private gardens, from their beginnings to the present day. |

The Complete Guide to Conservatory Plants
by Ann Bonar
What spring is to your garden, autumn is to your conservatory: it's time to plan and plant, tidy and till, and bring your green thumb indoors. Ann Bonar's guide includes an A to Z listing of more than 700 conservatory plants, with more than 130 color illustrations. From Abutilon to Zantedeschia, Bonar describes the particulars of flower and fragrance, climbing tendencies and hardiness, and requirements for light, temperature, moisture, and feeding. For the winter gardener, the plant directory is reason enough to add it to your garden shelf, but the other features (how to display the plants, advice on managing the environment and maintaining healthy plants, and an appendix of plant and equipment suppliers) will be greatly appreciated as well. |
