The Palm House

One of the world's most attractive garden buildings, the Palm House was built in the 1820s to a daring curvilinear design, using 18,000 small glass panes in thin iron glazing bars. It contains many rare and beautiful palms, which make a romantic setting for the civil marriage ceremonies we are able to hold in this historic building.

The Tropical House

Lush foliage and exotic blooms abound in the Tropical House, home of the Bicton orchid (Lemboglossum bictoniense), named after the park where it first bloomed in 1836.

The Arid House

Some of the world's strangest plants are among the cacti and other succulents growing in a naturalistic desert landscape.

The Temperate House

Colourful all year, this is a showcase for old favourites such as pelargoniums and begonias, as well as a number of more unusual plants suitable for greenhouses or conservatories.
