    Mary’s orangery at Gibside

    Built between 1772-74, the orangery is Mary Eleanor Bowes’ only original contribution to the buildings of Gibside.

    Once described by a contemporary 'as the most intelligent female botanist of the age', she commissioned plant collector William Paterson to explore South Africa in search of rare and new species.

    The orangery would have been home to this brilliant and diverse collection of unusual plants.
