Title: Ventnor again, but this time....

Pictures taken from inside their old greenhouse.  It is a polycarbonate house which over the years became very cloudy and therefore no longer suitable for growing the exotics they needed it for.  So, rather than wripping it down, they transformed the inside into a humid, plant packed jungle, mimicing an old mine.  Wonderful, but WOW was it hot and sticky!

Looks fantastic and the sounds of the water must have been incredible.

On a footnote ive not long since got back from Tenerife and i was fascinated at the banana fields there, it was amazing to see.
