Orangeries

The weather has finally turned warm this weekend. Here in New England, we know we can't really plant until Memorial Day, however, since there's still a chance of frost. Orangeries, aka conservatories are very big in Europe. Given our short growing season, I wonder why there aren't more popular here? I think they epitomize elegance and romance.

I would love a place like this to "escape" to with a cup of tea and a good book. Wouldn't you?
