The Conservatory looks –and is — a wonderful place to decorate your home & garden. The beautiful shop front on Unley Road looks more like a high class, expensive estate, but houses perfectly manicured plants for the front garden of your upper class home. The inside is filled(not really suitable for kids, too much to touch and break) with homewares, furniture, décor, prints and lots of pillows. However wonderful this place is to look through, it is very expensive — which makes it exclusive to the higher income market. Everything is of the highest quality though, go and have a look through — if not to buy, just to get ideas!

Do you enjoy a spot of gardening? If so then you can’t go past The Conservatory Garden and Home on Unley Road. This is a high end garden shop supplying quality plants so you will pay a little more but the benefit is your plants are more likely to survive if they have a good start to life. Plants at The Conservatory are all very lush and the staff do everything from selling single plants, to giving advice on making your garden thrive, to designing complete gardens. With flowering plants, climbers, trees, shrubs and a selection of plants guaranteed to survive Adelaide’s extreme weather, the guys at The Conservatory know there business and are happy to share their knowledge with customers. Even if you’re not buying, just walking through this garden shop is quite an experience — it’s like a mini botanic garden in the midst of suburbia. Inside you’ll find The Conservatory is more like a house than a shop and the interior is set up with a range of giftwares and books set out in different rooms. Some of the items you can buy there, you just wouldn’t expect to see in a garden shop. In addition to everything else, they can deliver your plants if they won’t fit in the car, gift wrap your purchases and will always send you on your way with a smile on your face. If its too tricky to find a park on Unley Road(as is often the case) I find their off-street car parking in Irwin Lane very handy.
