I understand the National Trust is to try to bring back a significant
number of it's walled gardens into production. My problem is that I've
heard they intend to remake the old greenhouses as they were, all manual
and in wood, instead of using modern materials and automation and things
like double glazing for the orchid houses. Personally I think that is crazy
as the old Head Gardeners would never have countenanced such a retrograde
step.
What do others think?

Well I think they should go for the look, but is daft to do what Heligan
did, they are constantly having to maintain the restored glasshouses which
you can't go in because its not safety glass,
