Morning Eye Candy: Crystal Clear
Posted in Photography on September 30 2015, by Matt Newman
It’s that time of year again—almost a holiday, really—where we pull out the cherry picker and take the whitewash off the Conservatory. If you didn’t know it was fall before, this is your cue!
The whitewash goes on in late spring, when high temperatures and bright sunlight need to be mitigated to keep our plants happy. Come the cooler months, we strip it off to give the Conservatory plants as much sunlight as possible. It’s a refreshing annual swap that signals lots of changes to come as the seasons play out.

This is fascinating and I had no idea that whitewash is used on the conservatory glass. Can you tell us if this is paint, or what material is used?
Thank you!
