Taking your gardening efforts to the next level and investing in a greenhouse does more than extend the growing season.
Providing a controlled environment in which to grow various plants, vegetables and fruits is the major benefit of greenhouse gardening. But it goes well beyond that.
Greenhouse gardening carries multiple advantages—not just for your plants, but also for the gardener. Here are four of them:
Protected Environment: Unlike backyard gardens exposed to changing weather conditions and the threat of pests, a greenhouse creates a safe haven for plants—from fragile ornamentals to hardier vegetables. In this consistent environment, not only are plants protected, but also gardeners don’t have to make emergency preparations for blizzards, high winds, heavy rains and the like. This isolation also limits exposure to insects and animals that may harm or destroy your gardening efforts.
Multipurpose Environment: Under the roof of your greenhouse, you can tend to a variety of plants—vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers and more. Because they aren’t planted directly into the soil, this assortment can be combined in one place without much restriction. An added bonus is that a greenhouse can function as a storage space, as well as gardening space. Tools, implements and accessories can be organized close to where you’ll be using them.
Save on Grocery Bills: Growing your own fruits and vegetables—in a backyard garden or in a greenhouse—will help you reduce your food bills. Prices of fresh produce are affected by weather and transportation costs that often fluctuate. But opting to do your food gardening in a greenhouse gives you more control over the costs, as well as the control to grow your favorite types year round.
Control of Produce: Greenhouse gardening isn’t just good for your budget; it’s also good for your health. Growing your own in a greenhouse means you have complete control over the growing environment. Unlike commercial farms, you don’t have to use pesticides and toxic chemicals to improve growing conditions and increase production. Greenhouses give gardeners the option to cultivate fresh, delicious produce without adding pesticides that could harm them or their families.
