How to find your dream greenhouse

Finding the perfect greenhouse for your garden can help you provide a controlled environment for your plants to thrive and become your own little farmer at home. But to succeed with your project and reap the full benefits of growing vegetation inside your greenhouse, it is important that you think carefully about your needs as well as the features the greenhouse offers. To help you make your search a little easier, we walk you through some of the key aspects to keep in mind when shopping for a new greenhouse:

• Size - Size is an important consideration when selecting a greenhouse. Think about the space you have available in your garden and the number of plants you want to grow. If you have a smaller garden, a compact greenhouse may be the best option. However, if you have ample space, you can opt for a larger greenhouse that offers more room for growth. 

It is also a good idea to consider the larger picture and how your greenhouse will influence the garden layout. Perhaps you want to make sure you have enough space for other activities or hobbies outside. 

• Features - When it comes to features, consider what you need for your specific gardening goals. Generally, it is a good idea to look for greenhouses that have some sort of ventilation option, like adjustable vents or windows, to ensure that your plants down overheat due to melting temperatures building up inside the greenhouse. You should also consider the general intensity of the sunlight and how much your plants can handle and choose a greenhouse that enables an according amount of sunlight to shine through. 

• Material - Greenhouses a made up of various materials, from traditional glass structures to modern polycarbonate or PVC options. Glass greenhouses offer excellent sunlight transmission, while polycarbonate and PVC are lightweight and durable. You can also consider whether a wooden or metal structure is most suitable. Wood is great at maintaining heat during cold months, where metal structures usually are stronger and more durable, which is more suitable for windy weather. 

If you are on a budget or looking for a quick and easy setup, plastic greenhouses are a great option. They are affordable, lightweight, and can be assembled in no time. While they may not offer the same level of durability as other materials, they can still provide a suitable environment for your plants.

Transform your greenhouse into a thriving space

Transforming your greenhouse into a flourishing space that both you and your plants love is all about adding personal touches and creating an environment that fosters plant growth. With a little creativity and organisation, you can turn your greenhouse into a beautiful and functional space that you'll love spending time in. We have collected a few great ideas to make the most out of your greenhouse: 

• Add decorative elements - When it comes to personalising your greenhouse, decorative elements are key. Consider adding hanging plants or colourful pots to add a touch of beauty. You can also incorporate outdoor lights like fairy lights or lanterns for a cosy ambience. Don't forget to include seating options, such as a bench, comfortable chairs or asmall bistro set, so you can relax and enjoy your green oasis.

• Create space for organising your gardening accessories - Storage solutions are essential for keeping your greenhouse organised. Install shelves or hooks to hang gardening equipment and supplies. This will not only keep everything in its place but also make it easier for you to find what you need when tending to your plants.

• Raise the ground - If you want to avoid having to bend down or get down on your knees to tend to your plants, you can consider investing in planters and raised garden beds that also add to your greenhouse’s aesthetic. We primarily recommend these options for plants that don’t tend to grow excessively.

• Group your plants - Organising the interior space of your greenhouse is crucial for efficient plant growth. Group plants with similar light and water requirements together. This will make it easier for you to care for them and ensure they receive the proper care. Use labels or markers to identify each plant so that you can keep track of their individual needs.

• Find the perfect spot for your greenhouse - To maximise sunlight exposure, it is important to choose the ideal location for your greenhouse. Look for a spot that receives the most sunlight throughout the day. This will ensure that your plants get the light they need to grow and thrive. Additionally, consider adding reflective surfaces, such as mirrors or white walls, to bounce light around the space.
