Wemmick's "greenhouse" is Newgate prison.

It struck me that Wemmick walked among the prisoners much as a gardener might walk among his plants.

Thus, we walked through Wemmick's greenhouse, until he turned to me and said, “Notice the man I shall shake hands with.” I should have done so, without the preparation, as he had shaken hands with no one yet.
