Winter Gardens, Sheffield

The Winter Gardens are situated in one of the largest temperate glass houses in Western Europe, designed by Architects Pringle Richards Sharratt. The enourmous Cathedral-like structure contains over 2000 plants, mainly from the southern hemisphere. The horticultural concept was created by Weddle Landscape Design. There are five bed areas: The Desert Survivors, Bamboo, The Founding Stone Bed, The Cyads and Banana Relatives and Tree Ferns and Dinasaur Food, all accompanied with an information board for the public. This was a really refreshing idea for a commercial space and very well used.
