When visiting one of our Australian botanic gardens I walked through the rain forest area which was in a building made entirely of glass. Such was the atmosphere an asthmatic relative with me almost collapsed! I enjoyed it very much but couldn't picture living in such a climate.

You could do that with no real problems. You would need water and electricity, of course. If you framed up the sides and used glass or plastic for a roof, your biggest problem might be cooling it down and keeping it shaded. If you think about it, a rain forest is mostly shaded. That corrugated fiberglas is not really very stable and breaks down quickly, so you may need to rethink that material unless you are thinking temporary roof. It's really really hot in Sacramento, so keeping things cool is gonna be a huge problem. Didn’t I just answer this?
