Growing/Greenhouse

Research indicates that children today have less opportunity to experience the natural world and get their hands dirty.

We recognise the importance of inspiring children about nature and its diversity and enabling them to put their learning into practice by producing their own organic fruit and vegetables.

The dome is the ideal starting point to get children passionate about school gardening and eco-friendly school projects due to its unique structure and greenhouse similarities. The benefit of the dome is that it goes further than a traditional greenhouse because it excites pupils and takes gardening to another level.

Using a Solardome encourages students to take an interest in biology and gardening, in a warm, safe environment unaffected by the often poor British weather.
