Book Description
This comprehensive, beautifully illustrated volume examines all aspects of the garden conservatory, both inside and out.

Both text and illustrations offer abundant ideas for furnishing, lighting, flooring, glazing, heating, and ventilation, revealing the conservatory to be one of the most versatile and desirable rooms in the house. The book also highlights various styles of conservatory gardening, with suggestions for suitable plants. Stunningly illustrated with 175 color photos, this is the perfect companion for all conservatory owners and aspiring owners.
