The tropical greenhouse in a new dress!
The tropical greenhouse has a new roof and new walls made of double web panels! From 14.4.2014 - 23.6.2014 a specialist company from Emsdetten was busy with renovation work on the tropical greenhouse. The house received a new roof and new walls made of double-webbed sheets that are more heat efficient and more light permeable. With these maintenance measures the university strengthens the location Witzenhausen, saves energy and provides also for a better optics of the plant. In addition, the heating pipes received a new coat of paint.
We are pleased about improved conditions for the useful plant collection!
