Towards the centre of the premises there is a shade house having a total area of 600 m2 which is utilised for the final stage of acclimatisation. The shade house is a sort of greenhouse which is covered with shading material to protect the plants from the bright sunshine and strong winds. After the plants are acclimatised in the glasshouse, they are taken to this shade house for hardening off prior to being transferred to the open environment. Part of this shade house is utilised by the Parks Department within the MRRA and Nature Trust.
