Sunderland Museum Winter Gardens

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 14 December 2011 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

O.K. we're back in Sunderland, this is the Winter Gardens glass house attached to the back of the museum. Incredible to think that you can grow banana trees that produce bunches of fruit in the north-east of England.
