Growing Green

Burnaby Lake Greenhouses Ltd.  strives toward environmental stewardship by using the latest technology and environmental practices in our greenhouse facilities to provide you with high quality plants and a bright environmental future.

 

Greenhouses

  • All irrigation water is screened, filtered, pH and nutrient balanced and then recycled back into our greenhouse irrigation system to minimize water waste.
  • We have the most efficient computer-controlled irrigation, lighting, ventilation and climate systems in all of our growing facilities.
  • Some greenhouses have retractable roofs to provide light from the natural environment.
  • Our plants are grown on moveable tables to maximize production space and facilitate the highest levels of material handling.

 

Green Waste

  • All plant, flower and soil waste is composted on-site in a protected covered facility to be recycled into high quality, nutrient rich growing media for our plants

 

Paper & Plastic

  • Cardboard and paper waste is recycled.
  • Used pots are steam sterilized and reused wherever possible.
