A method of growing plants, either from seeds or seedlings, which comprises placing them in a receptacle (20) and moving the receptacle through successive zones (A, B, C, D, E) which provide conditions for germination of the seeds or growth of the seedlings, and growth of the mature plants, and then removing the mature plants from the receptacle. The apparatus comprises a series of inclined racks (12, 14) each capable of receiving a receptacle (20) containing the seeds or plants and each divided into a number of successive zones (A, B, C, D, E) in which the plants may be exposed to the necessary environmental conditions for the particular stage of growth in that zone. |
