orangeries
Orangeries are becoming more and more popular. Markeaton Conservatories has been in the trade for years, and over that time we've become very good at sensing whether a property would benefit more from a conservatory or an orangery, and advising our customers as such. Orangeries are so called because they used to be used as a shelter in which to grow exotic tender fruit, such as pineapples, limes and the oranges from which they take their name. They were and are still a symbol of prosperity, and offer a beautiful place to entertain, grow and keep exotic plants, or just relax for a summer evening! Orangeries are perfect for gardeners, as they offer a safe, warm place to keep your exotic and fragile plants. Our British winters are often far colder that we'd like, and an orangery can keep your plant life safe - and also help keep your house warm throughout the year.
