Rimol Greenhouse Systems Inc.
Rimol Greenhouse Systems is scheduled to release an addition to its movable product line, the Movable Feast Greenhouse, this summer. Available as a 30-ft. by 48-ft. greenhouse, it’s designed to increase efficiency and widen crop rotations. Rimol collaborated with renowned American farmer/educator Eliot Coleman and Ohio State University’s Extension Vegetable Specialist, Dr. Matt Kleinhenz while designing the greenhouse. This structure will be an attractive option to growers looking to cultivate on terrain previously not suitable for movable structures.

Like all coastal rosemary, Low Horizon is both salt and drought tolerant. GT
