WALTHAM - The Lyman Estate Greenhouses in Waltham is a slice of heaven.

Lynn Ackerman has been managing the complex for 35 years. But this is no commercial greenhouse and these are not your average plants.

"It's the only 200-year-old greenhouse left in the country still operating and containing collections of plants that are representative of what the Lymans grew," she told WBZ-TV. "The grapes have been here since 1870 and this greenhouse we're standing in right now was built in 1804."
