The world’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House, at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew opened its doors following a 5-year restoration project costing \u00a341 million. First opened in 1863, the reopening of the Temperate House marks the 155th anniversary of this iconic structure. <\/p>\n

After reopening, the glasshouse contains over 10,000 plants from 1,500 species, including some of the rarest and most threatened plants on Earth.<\/p>\n

In 2011, a government report said that a renovation was required within three years if the structures were to survive. 155 years is a long time and the structure started showing major signs of ageing. So a grand restoration project started in 2013 and the greenhouse was covered in a large tent.<\/p>\n

The renewed Temperate House is opened with about 69,000 elements removed, cleaned, and restored\/replaced, and 15,000 new panes of glass installed.<\/p>\n

Richard Barley, the director of horticulture at Kew, said in a statement released by The Guardian: “It\u2019s been amazing watching this project unfold, the building emerges gloriously and some of the world\u2019s rarest plants safely reach their home.”
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The project’s lead architect, Aim\u00e9e Felton said: “The restoration of the Temperate House has been a complex and immensely rewarding project, recalibrating contemporary understanding of Victorian architecture and the development of past innovations,<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Although it may take decades for the plants to grow fully, it’ll be a great opportunity for those who have been waiting for the renovation to end. It’ll also be a good chance to see the plants in a new light for tourists as well as the local community.<\/p>\n
