To provide a cultivation device which enhances operation efficacy.SOLUTION: A plurality of cultivation units 2A and 2B are arranged side by side in a cultivation house 1 with an interval in the north-south direction serving as a work passage indicated with a vertical line. Using cultivation containers 5A2 and 5B2 on south side shelves 2A3 and 2B3 as lower shelves of the plurality of cultivation units 2A and 2B, plants to be harvested in summer including the summer solstice are cultivated. Using a cultivation container 5A1 on a north side shelf 2A2 as an upper shelf having a space 53 vertically penetrating the lower shelves, a plant growing soil in summer including the summer solstice is cultivated. During this summer period including the summer solstice, the cultivation container 5A1 is removed from the north side shelf 2A2 as the upper shelf so that sunlight 6 also strikes plants cultivated using cultivation containers 5A2 and 5B2 as the lower shelves through the space 53 penetrating vertically in the northern shelf 2A2 as the upper shelf during harvesting period in summer including the summer solstice, resulting in that plants may be harvested throughout the year.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10【課題】作業のやり易い栽培装置を提供する。【解決手段】複数の栽培ユニット２Ａ及び２Ｂが栽培ハウス１内に垂線で示す作業通路となる南北方向の間隔をもって並設され、前記複数の栽培ユニット２Ａ及び２Ｂの下段棚としての南側棚２Ａ３及び２Ｂ３で栽培容器５Ａ２及び５Ｂ２を用いて夏至の期間を含む夏期に収穫期となる植物を栽培する。前記下段棚に対して上下方向に貫通する空間部５３を有する上段棚としての北側棚２Ａ２で栽培容器５Ａ１を用いて夏至の期間を含む夏期に土作りとなる植物を栽培する。この夏至の期間を含む夏期には前記上段棚としての北側棚２Ａ２から栽培容器５Ａ１が撤去され、下段棚としての栽培容器５Ａ２及び５Ｂ２を用いて栽培される植物に夏至の期間を含む夏期の収穫期に日光６が上段棚としての北側棚２Ａ２における上下方向に貫通する空間部５３を通しても当たることから、年間を通して植物の収穫が可能となる。【選択図】図１０
