Everything about Palm House totally explained
A
palm house is a
greenhouse that's specialised for the growing of
palms and other tropical and subtropical plants. Palm houses require constant heat and were built as status symbols in
Victorian Britain. Several examples of these ornate glass and iron structures can still be found in major parks such as
Liverpool's Sefton Park and
Stanley Park.
One of the earliest examples of a palm house is located in the
Belfast Botanic Gardens. Designed by
Charles Lanyon, the building was completed in 1840. It was constructed by iron-maker
Richard Turner, who would later also build the Palm House at
Kew. The latter, designed by
Decimus Burton and
Nicole Burton, was the first large-scale structural use of
wrought iron.
