Winter Conservatory Tour Biltmore Estate
In the cold silence of winter, when we feel isolated from one another and arthritis pain and depression are pulling you down, there is still a way to become enveloped in the passion of plants: go to your local conservatory. Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, has one of the most fabulous conservatories in the nation and a winter conservatory tour at Biltmore Estate is just what you need to pull out of the winter blues. Below are some photos of my recent visit to the conservatory I’m posting just for you.
Fabulous conservatory
When you arrive at Biltmore Estate, you will spot the conservatory at the back of the Walled Garden below the mansion (see top photo). It is a Victorian delight featuring all manner of exotic plants and was completed in 1895. Tall arching windows let light stream in the sides of the brick building and multiple glasshouses and a pointed glass roof lets in more sunshine. Even in the winter, the interior of the conservatory is tropical and filled with the scents and colors of vibrant plants. Discover the winter conservatory tour at Biltmore Estate or walk – no RUN – to your nearest conservatory for a breath of fresh tropical air.
