Who Can Rent the Space:

While much of the Greenhouse Space is used for UW student scientific research, other bench space is sometimes available and open to rent by the general public/companies  AS OF July 2024 WE HAVE NO AVAILABLE BENCH SPACE

Bench Size:

  • One full bench is 90 square feet.
  • Benches are galvanized raised metal on movable platforms
  • Benches are only rented by full bench for a 6-month minimum
  • As this space is adjacent to the UW Farm benches, all plants and usage must be approved to ensure that the UW Farm’s USDA Organic certification is never compromised.

(In all cases, bench rentals are for a 6-month minimum and incur a $50 one-time set-up fee.)

What’s Included:

  • Year-round heat and light control: Auto set temperature, LED lighting and humidity controls. Auto roof vents and shade system.  Systems are set within a range and cannot be altered.
  • Complimentary use of public potting area, with advance notice.
  • Use of on-site misting bench.
  • Pest control performed by UW WSDA pesticide licensed staff. (Client may not do their own pest control).
  • In-room swamp cooler.

Interested?  Please reach out to UWBGFAC@UW.EDU and let us know what months you are interested in and how much bench space you need! (Note: Initial plant inspection required prior to rental agreement approval.)

NOTE:  We currently have NO greenhouse space available.
