Project by Bridge Greenhouses

A polytunnel greenhouse with eight separate compartments – including four with heating – was delivered and installed for The National Botanic Garden of Wales. Given the site’s dedication to conservation, horticulture, science and education, Bridge Greenhouses were the ideal partner for constructing a functional, aesthetic and environmentally controlled polytunnel structure.
