If you’ve got green fingers, you’ll need a greenhouse! And if you need a greenhouse, you’ve come to the right place. This is a portal to more greenhouses, garden sheds and green fingered garden buildings than you can shake a runner bean at. As you scroll through the greenhouses, you’ll be sure to find something to inspire you to get potting and start planting. All our greenhouses are designed with all our browsers in mind. That means, affordable options for every gardener, whatever their requirements, skills or budget.
But there’s a potential problem: after all, it doesn’t matter how green fingered you are if you haven’t got a garden; right? Not necessarily. These days, you don’t have to have much of a garden to have a garden shed; you don’t even have to have a garden to have a greenhouse.
A little lean-to greenhouse will give you all the benefits of your very own garden greenhouse, whether or not you’ve got a garden to put it in. As the name suggests, all you need for a lean-to greenhouse is something to lean it against! At widths in the region of two or three feet, the lean-to will snuggle up against your house, garage, wall or shed, without significant loss of space. (And without significant strain on your wallet.) It can do wonders for your outlook too. If you haven’t got a garden to look out on, just think how much nicer it will be to look out at your rows of tomatoes ripening in the sun! Lean-to greenhouses are available in about as many dimensional permutations as their full blown counterparts – you can utilise the whole length of your house if you like.
Or maybe you have got a garden. In which case you’ll have even more decisions to make! Keep scrolling! You’ll find larger lean-to’s and free standing varieties; hexagonal, octagonal; traditional and contemporary – all in a range of materials, all decked out with shelves, storage space and so much more. You’ll get a range of growing areas too; typically 2.5 metres upwards. How to decide? You’ll need to consider form and function for a start. In other words: how’s it going to look in your garden – and what’s it for? Which isn’t such a strange question as it might appear. After all, a greenhouse isn’t just a utilitarian bit of garden kit; it can be so much more. An ornamental octagonal greenhouse, for example, can make a breathtaking garden feature. Treat it as your very own garden gallery! A well planned arrangement of lush, leafy plants and vibrant flowers will elevate any garden.
Your greenhouse should be an essential part of your garden landscape. Even if it’s not going to make a statement, it’s still going to look good. It certainly doesn’t need to be tucked away out of sight. Modern garden greenhouses are mostly available in aluminium and wood: cedar, redwood, pine and spruce. Both have their advantages. They’re both low maintenance; although aluminium can probably claim to be no maintenance. Aluminium is cheaper; inch for inch, whereas wood is warmer. If money’s not the issue; and if you’re as fond of contemporary aluminium as traditional wood, then let your plants decide. What are you going to want to grow – and what are the optimum conditions for growing it?
A garden greenhouse is an essential part of the garden landscape; and they really are available for every gardener – and for every garden.
