Restoring the Palm Houses

Watch our July 2023 update

Protective cladding now shelters our iconic Palm House buildings, but behind-the-scenes, progress is being made on the restoration of these magnificent buildings: glass is being replaced, stonework restored and rusting ironwork brought back to life.

The Edinburgh Biomes project will protect global plant science and conservation through the restoration of the Palm Houses, ensuring the future of these A-listed historic structures and the precious plants that they house.

Watch the short film below to learn more about the vision, complexities and challenges of this crucial project.
