The Conservatory: Gardens Under Glass Featured in Boston Home Magazine
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
“Fun fact: The roots of modern-day conservatories stretch back to at least the 1700s when they were created to shelter fragile flora from inclement weather. Trace the origins of these glassy masterpieces—and swoon over the leafy wonders they house—in this new volume, written by married conservatory builders Alan Stein and Nancy Virts.”
This thought-provoking review perfectly describes what makes this book such a great read; a fascinating combination of the history of conservatory architecture with magnificent photos of the grandest conservatories in the world, old and new. It is the perfect addition to that curated coffee-table collection with its large size and massive photos!
Behind the Pages
“We first became enamoured of these glass wonders while studying and travelling abroad. Our careers in architecture and textile art set the stage and our company Tanglewood Conservatories is the natural conclusion. We established Tanglewood with the goal of combining the romanticism of traditional nineteenth-century glass architecture with state of the art technology and masterful craftsmanship. Our goal has never changed.
Over the last 25 years in business, our passion for these extraordinary conservatories continued to blossom and has inspired us to create this beautiful publication. It tells the story of their evolution, their impact on society, and why after more than 150 years, they are cherished anew.”
