  Alitex and The National TrustThe National Trust wanted to ensure that, although this was a smaller greenhouse, there would be no compromise on quality or refinement. Who better to entrust with its design than Alitex? For over 50 years Alitex has designed and built glasshouses for Grade I listed properties and English Heritage sites, so instinctively understood what The National Trust wanted to achieve - a practical low-maintenance greenhouse but with all the wonderful aesthetic qualities of an original heritage structure. Alitex has also built traditional glasshouses for The National Trust at Sizergh Castle, Standen House and The Vyne and are currently in discussions about creating glasshouses at two other Trust properties. You can currently see a National Trust Greenhouse at the Hidcote Manor Gardens Plant Centre.
“Small greenhouses are notorious for overheating. The National trust Greenhouse has been designed with a steeply pitched roof, combined with side and roof vents which give a large volume of air that is constantly moving – the perfect “buoyant” atmosphere that all growers aim for.” John Humphris
