Anotations

Scope note:

Structures enclosed by glass or other transparent material, and devoted to the cultivation and protection of plants. These are usually free-standing but may be attached to another building. Greenhouses may vary in size, from small sheds to very large buildings, depending on their intended use. For rooms attached to houses and used as sun lounges or for growing indoor plants, prefer "conservatories."
