Greenhouses
Although it is not clear who created the first greenhouse, it is believed the Romans were the first to use greenhouses to grow cucumbers. Greenhouses were later used by the Italians to grow and preserve exotic plants and flowers that were bought back from the tropics. Greenhouses soon spread to the Netherlands and England. However, the modern day greenhouse was invented by a French botanist named Jules Charles. With time, the concept of greenhouses was perfected and Victorian greenhouses like the one in Kew Gardens were built to preserve exotic plants that would otherwise perish in the cold climate of England.
