The Messenger Garden

Glasshouses play a major part of this room being the dominant feature. The beds will be redesigned once the work on the glasshouses is completed, but for the moment, it is prairie planting that plays a major part. The room gets its name from the large glasshouse currently undergoing restoration, built by Thomas Messenger and Co. in 1929.
