Glasshouse Range

From delicate alpines to exotic tropicals.

The Glasshouse Range offers year-round interest, and includes plants ranging from diminutive, high altitude alpines, to impressive tropical trees.  Each of the glasshouses in the Range is themed to highlight plant adaptations, habitats and associations in a diversity of environments.

Click on the boxes below to discover more about each Glasshouse section.

We are now posting a series of special timelapse films, showcasing the unfurling of some of the rare and popular plants in our Glasshouse collection. To see these stunning films, click here.
