The Lee Valley has long been the home of many nurseries growing vegetables and flowers. Some are disused and derelict now, but this one, which belongs to Valley Grown Nurseries, reflects the amount of investment necessary to operate a modern nursery. The far unit beyond the silver tank has 50 bays, and the overall area under glass is about 10 acres or about 4 hectares. The nursery houses about 220,000 plants. Clayton Hill is visible beyond the far unit.
