The British pepper nursery Valley Grown is expanding. This year, the greenhouse space will increase to a total of around 10 hectares. But there's even better news. The growers made some very nice videos of the expansion.
10 hectares
The UK grower is situated in the Lea Valley, about 50 kilometers north of London. The nursery will grow to 10 hectares, since the British market is asking for more British produce. The expansion is built by Bom Greenhouses. In the new greenhouse, the Twinlight construction is being implemented. This construction realises a more consistent cultivation climate. As the greenhouse column consists of two narrow, thin uprights, rather than a large solid tube, more light is let through to the crop.
Videos
Off to the movies. The growers made several videoclips in and around the building project. From these, you can see the greenhouse growing. Also the nice location of the company is shown: near lakes and forests.
