Our Little Conservatory




       Happy Friday!
            We have a small conservatory on the
                   back of the Boathouse which faces south.
              It is a good place for plants to enjoy the
      light and warmth.

                                                                        A side view.

                                                                       My husband and son built this
                                                                       using old french doors as windows.
                                                                   The cherubs and plants lend
                                                                   a garden feel.



                                                                        A good spot to enjoy a cup of tea or
                                                                        write in my journal.




                                                                                   
                                                                        The Boathouse

                                                                   One foggy morning....you can see the
                                                                  small conservatory on the back.
                                                    This is the most recent look in our
                                                               little conservatory but if you would like
                                                              to see a previous summer look click here
                                                              or to see it at Christmas last year click
                                                              here.


                                                                           Hope you have a wonderful last
                                                                           weekend of summer!

    I love your boathouse! It always looks amazing one of my favorite images is of it in a winter landscape. What a lovely spot for plants and people I can imagine sitting there among all the flowers. I love to have something similar on our house. Sometime in the future we have to fix the heating first.

    What a lovely place it is Carolyn! How clever your husband and son are to build it themselves.

    Have a good weekend!

    Such a darling conservatory, Carolyn. Do you heat it in winter so the plants can stay alive? Just curious. Susan

    Hi Susan,
    It only has a little heat so I don't keep any plants in there in the winter.

    Thank you for your visit and lovely comments.
