Sheffield Winter Garden, UK

The Sheffield Winter Garden is part of a major urban regeneration project in one of Britain's largest cities.  The building, designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects, has been featured in many architectural publications.  The structure of the building is made from soft wood, engineered in such a way as to give the building strength, durability and an uninterrupted interior space for the plants.

The plants, installed and maintained by Rentokil Tropical Plants UK, come from all over the World and represent the major plant types from a variety of different environments.

There are 2,000 plants from 150 different species ranging in size from small ground-cover species to huge palms that required special load-handling equipment for their installation.
