Crystal Palaces, American Garden Conservatories

Rating:
Summary: A Beautifully Prepared View of Glass Houses
Review: Gardeners, Horticulturists , or anyone else will enjoy the beauty of this book. What struck me was the beautiful preparation and the reproduction of the Photos. The color and architectural features leap off the pages.

The history of the development of Conservatories adds an extra dimension - and of course nearly every large city has one, open for visiting now !

A great read, and a terrific gift for anyone.

Summary: Beautiful reference book
Review: Important background information on these lovely historic glass houses is matched with lovely photos. It would make an excellent book for planning travel to any of the cities where these conservatories are located. Well known properties are listed as well as ones less famous. This book is a "must" if you are a lover of gardens and plants.
