Kinetic Glasshouse at<br />
Woolbeding Gardens<br />
Explore the remarkable kinetic glasshouse and Silk<br />
Route garden at the National Trust’s Woolbeding<br />
Estate in West Sussex. The glasshouse, inspired by<br />
Victorian ornamental terrariums, opens its ‘sepals’<br />
on warm days to create a large space in the shape<br />
of a crown. Designed by Heatherwick Studio,<br />
it takes four minutes to open using a hydraulic<br />
mechanism. In colder weather, the structure<br />
remains closed in the shape of a ten-sided pyramid.<br />
It is the focal point of a new garden that shows how<br />
much the ancient Silk Route has influenced English<br />
gardens of today, with silk exchanged for plants<br />
such as rosemary, lavender and fennel. ◆<br />
