Guided Greenhouse Tour

Join us for an enchanting journey through all six of Parkwood’s historic greenhouses and the charming Potting Shed. Along the way, you’ll uncover the fascinating stories of how these spaces were used from 1917 to 1972 during the McLaughlin family’s residency. From exotic plants to innovative designs, each greenhouse holds a unique place in the estate’s rich history. As you explore, you’ll also discover the modern practices that sustain these historic greenhouses today.

Enhance your visit with a warm cup of tea, creating the perfect moment to pause and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the surroundings.

As a special keepsake, each guest will receive a beautiful watercolour print of the greenhouses and a helpful houseplant care handout, ensuring you can bring a touch of Parkwood’s magic home with you.
Don’t forget your cameras—there’s no shortage of stunning photo opportunities to capture the vibrant charm of our greenhouses!
