History and Discovery of an Exceptional Greenhouse

Description

Imagine a timeless place where nature flourishes. The greenhouses of Pregny, built in the 1880s from Canadian Pitch Pine, are much more than horticultural structures housing our collections of succulents, palms, and citrus. They are witnesses to a bygone era and a legacy that we invite you to discover during this guided tour of the greenhouse that housed the collections of rare plants – including orchids – of Baroness Julie Caroline de Rothschild. It is this story that our gardeners working there today will tell you! A unique experience in a place usually closed to the public.
