Lesson 11:Garden Adornments And Structures

Conservatory

• There is a very little difference between a green house and a conservatory structurally but both differ with the use to which they are put.
• A conservatory differs from a greenhouse, in which permanent plants are planted in central beds and the side beds are used for continuous floral display.
• A conservatory is situated very near to the dwelling house and should actually be included in the same architectural plan. This may be connected with the house by a corridor or a pergola.


• In India, a conservatory is also known as ferny, as in olden days ferns occupied predominant position in such houses.
• A conservatory is also known as a shade house used for keeping shade ­loving ornamental plants.
