The Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst, Massachusetts, this weekend is opening a reconstructed plant conservatory at the house where the poet often wrote about nature.

Museum director Jane Wald said the staff used archeological digs, photographic evidence and other research to figure out how to build the glass structure; the original was razed after the poet died in the late 1800s.
Wald said Dickinson herself helped them decide which plants would populate the conservatory.
