Greenhouse manufacturer featured in Human Rights horticultural installation

 

Norwich-based Rhino Greenhouses has played an integral role in the creation of a new horticultural installation to mark the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

 

Based in the heart of London, the greenhouse displays some of the key messages set out in the Human Rights Bill, and will act as a fantastic visual educational tool for years to come. 

 

The team at Rhino Greenhouses were approached to provide one of their high-end greenhouses for the project, and have worked with world-renowned horticultural installation artist, Tony Heywood, to produce a one of a kind greenhouse. 

Discussing the project, Tony Heywood said: “I’ve given the work a ‘pop-art aesthetic to draw in the younger generation, but in a way that also appeals to other audiences.”

 

“However, instead of containing plants, it holds two huge monolithic boulders which are precariously balanced on top of each other threatening the entire structure should they topple.”

 

This innovative work was unveiled on World Human Rights Day, by Private Eye Editor, Ian Hislop at an inauguration which will be attended also by the Leader of Westminster Council, Adam Hug.

 

Andrew White, Head of Sales & Marketing at Rhino Greenhouses was delighted to be part of such an inspiring project: “When we were initially approached about one of our greenhouses being used for the project, our team were excited to be involved in any way we could.”

 

“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a key part of history, and to have one of our greenhouses play centre stage in marking this milestone in the capital, is absolutely incredible for our brand and the wider community.”
