Kew Glasshouse Range

By the time Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, huge structures like those at Kew were well established, but to ordinary Victorians the opportunity to bring into their homes the glamour of winter gardens, seen at continental spas or grand houses, was irresistible. Glasshouses were primarily used to provide hothouse plants and exotic fruits to enrich the Victorian diet and introduce the scent of the tropics.

A botanical glasshouse can be the most inviting room in the house - a quiet place to read, or a pleasant room in which to entertain, surrounded by plants and flowers. Lit by candlelight or moonlight, it becomes a magical place - regardless of the weather outside.

The bespoke Kew System creates a horticultural glasshouse environment inside of which you can grow or simply display and house your much cherished plants and trees and enjoy a much enhanced ambiance.
