Broag is in full bloom in The Wirral

Broag
This new visitors’ centre of Ness Botanic Gardens in Neston, South Wirral is designed as a low-energy building and heated by two Broag Quinta 85 gas-fired boilers. They achieve a gross efficiency of 99% with flow/return temperatures of 40/30°C and ultra-low NOx emissions. The centre is part of the University of Liverpool, and Peter Birch, estates service manager with the university, explains that Broag boilers were installed because they are one of the main ranges that the university likes to use throughout its facilities. The gardens were created in 1898 by Liverpool cotton merchant Arthur Kilpin Bulley, a keen botanist who originally opened part of the gardens to local residents. He laid the foundations of one of the major botanic gardens in the United Kingdom, which was presented to the university by his daughter in 1948.
