In the winter, it&#8217;s really good to have places like that where you can get a bit of tropical feel without having to go to the tropics. If you haven&#8217;t been there, they have two connected greenhouses or conservatories. The first of the two that you go into has a mostly static display of tropical plants. I say static but of course everything is growing, so it does change from year to year, but in general, the same plants are there, with the exception of a few containers and such. It&#8217;s really nice and the sort of things I&#8217;ve love to have connected to my house.<\/p>\n<p>The second conservatory has different displays in it throughout the year and this time of year they have the local Garden Railroad Club set up a display. It includes local landmarks, including the conservatories at Brookside Gardens, as seen here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went to Brookside Gardens today.
