Growing on Tunnels

There are 8 rigid frame polytunnels on site which can be used for growing on young plants or established tender species after potting.

Once rooted cuttings are potted off into liners, they are transferred to the liner tunnel for the first full season of growth. This reflects standard practice in a typical hardy plant nursery.

These structures are side ventilated and unheated.

Weed control in this protected environment is vital to maintain high quality, and this is achieved through applications of residual herbicide as appropriate.
