Kew Gardens

The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, one of the world’s leading horticultural institutions, uses Air-Pot containers to grow more than 3000 different species of plant.

“Our priority at The Royal Botanic Garden, Kew is the health, vitality and successful establishment of every single plant we produce. In the past 15 years we have established that the Air-Pot system indisputably offers the best growing solution for our needs. Quality of stock aside, the Air-Pot container’s reusability makes our growing process in the nursery much more sustainable. The manufacturing quality of the Air-Pot material makes the system extremely durable and robust, simple and easy to store large quantities which has allowed us to reuse the kits for ten years or more and they are still viable.”

Two birch trees grown at Kew, one in the ground the other in an Air-Pot container. The difference in the leaf size demonstrates the dramatically different rates of growth.
