Science
Centre Greenhouses
This is not an ordinary
greenhouse, it is a set of the most
advanced research greenhouses in
the World.
. . .
. . .
These greenhouses are the most climate controlled on the planet.
. . .
The temperature does not vary more than one degree Celsius 365 days a
year.
. . .
As well as controlling temperature, these rooms can also
control the
gasses the plants are exposed to.
. . .
As you can see in the background, all the lower windows
can be opened
using rack and pinion gears.
The opening and closing of all the windows are computer controlled.
. . .
The computer controlled atmosphere keeps plants in perfect condition.
. . .
These berries are from the plant Symphysia racemosa.
