Eden Project, England

Located in Cornwall, in Southern England, this unique collection of gardens is not a typical conservatory. The domes look like they came from the set of a science fiction film. These odd-looking structures are home to self-contained biosystems with plant life from tropical and Mediterranean climates. A number of outdoor gardens are also part of the complex.

Atocha Station, Madrid

Not every indoor garden is housed in a purpose-built greenhouse. Madrid’s Atocha Train Station is a perfect example of such a place. It does get very busy, but a massive garden boasting more than 7,000 plants representing 260 species gives it a quiet atmosphere, even at rush hour. There is also a pond that serves as a turtle sanctuary, in addition to housing a number of fish.

The butterfly centre is located at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain. The main attractions here are the colourful butterflies, which fly freely around the glass enclosure. The butterfly centre has earned LEED certification for its environmental friendliness and energy-efficiency, which is impressive for a building that must maintain tropical conditions year-round in a temperate climate.
