The Temperate House, teaching studio and new restaurant in Jephson Gardens Leamington Spa, are on the site of a redundant nursery. From small beginnings in the 1850's the nursery grew to occupy the whole space between Mill Walk and the Lakeside Path. Before it closed in 1994 the nursery grew the plants of all the council's flower beds as well as for indoor floral decorations.
The Temperate House today
Today the Temperate house represents plant evolution from approximately 500 million years ago to the present day. The interior space is carefully managed in different climate zones with a controlled ventilation system. The stone sculpture was designed by David Wilson and represents the world some 500 million years ago.
