Back in 2009 Gabriel Ash were approached by Lizzie Balmforth (the Curator at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate) with a view to installing a greenhouse at their recently funded £3.3m Learning Centre at the RHS garden.

The Teaching Greenhouse needed to be big enough to accommodate up to 30 students at a time from nearby schools all ready to learn about gardening. The structure also needed to be able to house all the equipment used in the lessons in a safe and secure area.

With this in mind Gabriel Ash constructed a special greenhouse to suit. Based on the Classic Twelve and over 60ft in length the greenhouse is split into the main teaching area and a separate storage shed at the rear for all the equipment.

As always with Gabriel Ash, the structure has full length automatic vents and a number of side vents making it the perfect environment for the next generation of gardeners to hone their horticultural skills.
