The modern conservatory is said to be a place that
provides extra living space enhanced by the presence of plants. Sadly
what tends to happen is that little consideration is given to providing
an environment that will enable the plants to thrive which leaves the
conservatory simply as an home extension rather than a place to accommodate
plants. Glenda is clearly on the side of the plants using her conservatory
as a place to grow and enjoy plants as opposed to providing a comfortable
furnished sun room for herself. It is of interest to note that Glenda
has only recently acquired a conservatory having previously has to use
whatever suitable space her house could provide. This meant adopting
sunny window sills and any brightly lit or shaded areas the plants would
enjoy. There were and still are occasions when places in the house are
rearranged solely for the benefit of the plants.
