This study provides a thorough and sound analysis of the orangery and places it in context with the rest of the landscape and similar structures built during the 18th century. This document is a study report of the findings and landscape context for the presumed greenhouse/orangery ruins found at the Green Spring plantation site, located in James City County, Virginia. This currently undeveloped site is a unit of the Colonial National Historical Park. This report summarizes research conducted mainly during the winter of 2001-02, the spring and summer of 2002, and the spring of 2003 concerning the site and greenhouse/orangery structure, now a ruin, located at the Green Spring plantation historic site.
