Green House: Garden Room Dining...

Greenhouse: Garden Room dining....
Greenhouse kitchen /diner
Geraniums and Lunch: Perfect combination

Okay so the top three pictures are pretty much identical, but they are all variations of my absolute dream greenhouse, garden dining room. They all smell of that earthy combination of Tomato plant and geranium and have just enough shade to keep you cool but let enough sunlight in the room so that you can still lean back in your chair after your lunch and feel the orange sun on your closed eyes..... bliss!!

Green House: Garden Room Dreaming....

Spring is finally here...... At the beginning of the week I got to play with Alex in the garden and it was magical to finally feel the sunshine on my face. I automatically felt like the heavy weight of winter was slipping from my sholders.

So why have I posted images of indoor gardens?... becasue although I love the sunshine, I love it even more from the slightly cooler shade, in a comfy chair, glass of Pimms in hand and a good book on my lap....bliss!!

I am thinking maybe I could get a conservatory built on my house. It would be so cool to have a little reading room with a pretty tiled floor, beautiful exotic plants and a Blue velvet chair to read a book in....

Beautiful overgrown Victorian Conservatory / greenhouse
Spiral Staircase at Kew Gardens

I can remember the moment I fell for Victorian style conservatories and began dreaming of living in a huge green house. I must have been 8 years old and we went on a visit to Kew Gardens. There was a beautiful conservatory with Lemon and Orange Trees and a large greenhouse with huge lily-pads that I remember being very disappointed that I wasn't aloud to sit on. It was around that time I read the Secret Garden....

Growing up we visited loads of National Trust properties and I have to be honest I found them a bit boring, but now I cant get enough. Although I find the interiors aren't often to my taste the gardens and conservatories are so beautiful and inspiring....

Heaven!!!
