A greenhouse, especially one in which the plants are displayed aesthetically, as in a botanic garden. Also, a room for both plants and people.

The Great Conservatory at Syon House is not far from the Orangery at Hampton Court Palace that I wrote about yesterday. So if you are visiting one it is worth travelling an extra few miles to visit the other.

Syon House belongs to the Duke of Northumberland and is his family’s London residence.

Set within 200 acres of parkland designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown from the 1750s to 1770s, there are 40 acres of formal gardens, an ornamental lake and a collection of 200 species of rare trees.
