conservatory

A conservatory is a special room that's attached to a house and filled with plants. It's like an indoor garden.

You might hear people talk about installing a conservatory or building one onto their home. This usually means adding a big glass windowed room where you can grow all sorts of flowers, trees, and vegetables year-round. Some people even use them as extra living spaces because they're so bright and sunny inside. You might also find conservatories in old houses with intricate stone work or fancy architectural details – these rooms were often used for growing exotic plants back when traveling was harder. When someone says "I love spending time in my conservatory," they probably mean it's their favorite spot to relax surrounded by greenery.
