Eden on Mars
Bananas, coffee and olives grow in the biomes at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England. These geodesic domes are among the biggest in the world, and from afar could be mistaken for a Martian colony.
Paradise in Windy City
Winters in Chicago are cold and windy. Luckily, two giant glasshouses offer protection: Garfield Park and Lincoln Park Conservatory, the latter a wonderful Victorian gem.
Big is beautiful
The tropical house at the Kyoto Botanical Gardens is a staggering 4700 square meters in size. Japanese architects are currently planning to build one of the world’s biggest glasshouses in China – large enough to cover an entire valley in Hebei Province.
