Bush House at the Townsville Botanical Gardens, ca.1900

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  o A bush-house is an Australian term for shade-house, created to grow plants that prefer shady conditions and thrive in warm climates. This shady environment simulates the rainforest understorey. Sometimes called a Fernery or Fern House. o IT IS NOT A GLASSHOUSE or true conservatory. o BHs linked to 19th century interior decoration and the use of potted palms, ferns etc. in "hall and table", and for decorating verandahs o In design terms, this is where garden architecture and horticulture combine! Bush houses were extremely popular in Queensland from the 1880s to 1940s, ranging from Government House (OBG and Fernberg) to suburban cottages and villas, to outback homesteads, in private & public gardens.

  I was hoping someone could tell us what is in the crocks! Perhaps they are just flowerpots with soil?

• B-59 said:

  Likely the Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew Gardens) www.kew.org/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kew_Gardens

• Arden said:

  Thanks B-59. We will add the Kew Gardens location when we update.

• Retired at last said:

  There's a date 8/30/18, mirror writing, vertically bottom right of the image. Have Buckingham Palace gardens definitely been ruled out?

• Arden said:

  Retired at last: thanks for noticing the date. We can add "possibly Kew Gardens or Buckingham Palace gardens" to the record.
