The Virginia Horticulture Centre have a production area including two greenhouses and a field plot for demonstration, technology transfer and advice for our members and other growers within the community
The first and smaller of our two greenhouses
is the "Azrom" from Izrael, measuring approximatly 60m x 15m.
This greenhouse is fully hydroponic andwill soon be planted with lebanese cucumbers.
The second of our greenhouses the "Richel" from France is 60m x 100m and also fully hydroponic and will soon be planted with an experimental crop
The combined roofing of the two greenhouses is 4,500 meters squared which is utilised to catch rain water and feed into a 260,000 litre tank, which is then filtered for use anywhere within the greenhouse.
The Virginia Horticulture Centre also has a fully operational grading and packaging facility
