Hello again,
Yes, what I meant by a botanical conservatory is basically a large
greenhouse that has collections of various plants (many times rare plants) and
it is usually used for displaying plant groups of different areas or simply as
a meditaton type of atmosphere. I am primarily interested in universities that
have this type of conservatory. I only really need the names of universities
you may know of that have such a thing. I can simply look up the address for
snail mail. E-mail addresses are not necessary. The garden I saw in Hamburg,
Germany consisted of Japanese gardens, a children's park, general botanical
displays, and a conservatory as I described. I'm not certain if it is run by
the city of Hamburg or the University of Hamburg, whether completely run or
just in part. I was quite impressed with it even though it only had a very
small CP display. :( If any of this is still unclear, please feel free to
have me try to make it more clear. Thanks again!
