Opening by the Emir of Kuwait

A special botanical greenhouse, complete with different climate zones, was opened during an opening ceremony on 24 February 2015 by none other than the Emir of Kuwait. The ceremony was also attended by various ministers and senior officials from the Kuwaiti government.

Six different gardens and four different climate zones

This botanical garden at the Emir's Bayan Palace covers an area of 15,793 m². Almost 3,500 m² of the space is dedicated to the cultivation of various exotic plants in the greenhouse. Despite temperatures of 53 degrees Celsius outside, the indoor climate is carefully controlled. There are tropical, dry, Mediterranean and European gardens.

Expert in botanical greenhouses

Thanks to our expertise, we have also built greenhouses for the Keukenhof, Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, Inverewe Gardens and RHS Garden Wisley, in addition to this well-known botanical garden.

We are currently constructing an enormous greenhouse for the botanical garden in Gothenburg. These are often special constructions that, in addition to their striking design, also require specific climate control for the rare plant collections.
