Greenhouses to visit in New Zealand

The Verrière atlas lists 13 greenhouses in New Zealand, built between 1907 and 1980.

New Zealand's cities built their greenhouses in two waves. Between 1907 and 1928 came Dunedin's winter garden, the first in Australasia according to Heritage New Zealand, the Auckland Domain Wintergardens, Christchurch's Cuningham House and New Plymouth's fernery, dug by hand into the hillside. A second generation followed, from the 1940 centennial to the 1980s: Whanganui's Winter Gardens, Wellington's Begonia House, hailed at its opening as the largest greenhouse in the southern hemisphere, and the conservatories of Palmerston North and Hastings. All of them stand in parks or botanic gardens.
