The Biltmore Conservatory


 Nothing lifts the spirits for 
Spring anticipation more 
 than a walk through the 
Conservatory at Biltmore Estates.
 The Conservatory designed by 
architect Richard Morris Hunt
 is a glass roofed building that nurtures 
exotic orchids, ferns, and palms.


 The vista is punctuated by an amaryllis 
here and there or a begonia.

 Leaf contrasts and bark textures
 lead to a delightful walk through the indoor space.
Biltmore House and Gardens 
built by George Vanderbilt 
opened on Christmas Eve, 1895,
 after six years of construction.
More about the Biltmore?
