A major public fundraising campaign has been launched to help save two of Scotland’s most significant heritage buildings, the Tropical Palm House and the Temperate Palm House. These buildings, located in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, are in need of restoration and additional funds are required for their completion. The Palm Houses are considered outstanding examples of late Georgian and Victorian engineering and are of unique architectural significance. The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is home to a vast collection of living plants, and the Palm Houses house 30% of this collection, providing protection against the loss of genetic diversity and the risk of extinction for threatened species.
