Here are 10 of the most amazing greenhouses. Can you imagine if these designs were real?! Possible for the future. Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 5. The Dragonfly Let’s take quick look at a future design of a greenhouse that might actually be built in New York some day. This dramatic looking vertical greenhouse could actually revolutionize farming in cities around the world and help us deal with overpopulation, sometime in the near future. This unique idea, could have enough room to raise cattle and poultry along with 28 different types of crops. This would also allow for housing on some levels. Can you imagine living inside a greenhouse? This design was meant to stay cool during summer using natural ventilation and evapo-perspiration from the plants. The greenhouse would be fertilized with domesticated animal waste, mostly from the cows inside the building! Having farms inside big cities could be the route will need to go in the years to come. This certainly seems like a crazy idea but it’s interesting to see where greenhouses will go in the future. 4. Sahara Forest Project While some people might be a little seeing something like a palm tree in Finland due to cold, most of would be quite shocked seeing lush forests in the middle of the Sahara. The Sahara forest project is under development in countries like Tunisia and Qatar. They’re hoping the use the moisture for the nearby bodies of water like the Atlantic or Persian Gulf in order to actually cool and humidify the greenhouses, since it gets pretty hot and dry in the desert! This could provide suitable conditions for growing crops year long. Combine this technology with solar panels and we got ourselves some eco friendly greenhouses. This is a huge step forward in creating farms in the desert. 3. Thanet Earth Located on the Isle of Thanet in the UK, it’s the Britain's largest greenhouse. With 220 acres, when it was finally completed, it’ll cost 80,000,000 pounds! This is amazing greenhouse produces a large amount of food the British have difficulty growing on their own land and require hotter climates. Things like cucumbers, a variety of peppers, and cucumber grow here and everything is extremely organic! All these crops at Thanet Earth are grown hydroponics which works best on large-scale production facilities. The baby plants are normally bought from special nurseries and given the much needed water and plant food for them to thrive. These plants at this greenhouse can grow at amazing lengths, that you wouldn’t believe. All the picking and tending is done by hand at this greenhouse. The cucumbers that are produced here are made from late January through november, keeping them a large steady supply throughout the year. 2. Biosphere, Montreal The Biosphere in Montreal, Canada is dedicated to the environment, and advertises itself as the only environmental museum in the world. This remarkable structure is located in the heart of Montreal near the former Olympic stadium and features a remarkable variety of different environments that you can actually visit! Visitors can enjoy tropical rainforests and maybe you’ll even spot a sloth while walking through. It also showcases local habitats complete with racoons and maple trees! The remarkable architectural feat soars up at least a hundred feet and was meant to give people a better understanding of the environment around the world. Education exhibits and tours are available which teaches people about air, water, biodiversity, climate change and much more. 1. New York Botanical Gardens The neighborhood of the Bronx in the big apple is home to the New York Botanical Gardens, which hosts 2 large Greenhouses. One conservatory is the largest victorian style glasshouse in the United States. The NYCBG sits on 250 acres of prime real estate and boasts an endless amount of plants and flowers for people to enjoy. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is a major part of this and designs began as far back as 1891. They set out to built a greenhouse that was far ahead of its time, using american and french glass. A variety of different materials were used for the base of the design including marble, bluestone, north river brick and buff bedford stone. The greenhouse has been a tremendous addition to the community and valuable to the scientific community.It’s here where you’ll also find a rare, foul smelling corpse flower, that emits the odor of decaying flesh when it blooms.This happens to attract different varieties of bugs to help with pollination.
