Restoration of the Palm Houses | Edinburgh Biomes

The Tropical and Temperate Palm Houses at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, built in 1834 and 1856 respectively, are in urgent need of repair and restoration to their stonework, metalwork and glass. Part of Scotland’s architectural heritage, they are home to Scotland’s National Living Collection of plants, but their condition has declined over decades, rendering them extremely fragile and at risk.
The Edinburgh Biomes project will protect global plant science and conservation through the restoration of the Palm Houses, ensuring the future of these A-Listed historic buildings and the precious plants that they house.
