Greenhouses are the first thing we want to talk about in 2023 because New Year is traditionally the time that we all look to make positive changes to our lives.
We’re not being melodramatic when we say that buying a greenhouse is a genuinely lifechanging experience, either. If you’re in any doubt about this, please read on…
1. Buy A Greenhouse for Cheaper, Tastier, Healthier Fruit & Veg
Growing your own fruit and vegetables is the exception to the rule of ‘you get what you pay for’ because homegrown produce is infinitely tastier and healthier than supermarket alternatives, and yet costs a fraction of the price.
With inflation continuing to rise and many of us tightening our belts, the opportunity to save money AND get a better-quality product is one you should seize with both hands.
2. Increase Your Growing Options with A Greenhouse
Greenhouses allow you to grow plants that are normally unsuited to the British climate, making your garden far richer and more diverse.
Tomatoes, grapes and kiwi fruits are three of our favourite greenhouse-grown plants, but you’re sure to develop your own particular preferences over time.
Greenhouse gardening also allows you to get a head start with your seedlings. As it’s a much hotter environment inside a greenhouse, the soil warms up quicker and helps your seeds germinate earlier than they would do if planted outdoors.
3. Enjoy A Higher Yield with A Greenhouse
This hotter temperature makes for a far better all-round growing environment too, resulting in larger, healthier crops of plants - particularly welcome news if you’re growing your own fruit and veg.
What’s more, a greenhouse’s sheltered environment offers your plants far greater protection from pests, like slugs and mice, than they could hope to receive outdoors.
4. Greenhouse Gardening is Good for Your Health
Countless studies have shown that gardening is hugely beneficial to both the body and mind.
Think about it, you’re getting plenty of vitamin D from the sunlight, regular exercise, and are keeping yourself busy, close to nature, carrying out productive work with clearly visible results.
Even the NHS prescribes gardening to promote good mental health.
5. Greenhouse Gardening Is Good for the Environment Too
Owning a greenhouse benefits the world around you too.
Firstly, growing your own fruit, vegetables and flowers means you’re cutting back on car journeys to the shops and van deliveries to your home, lowering your carbon footprint.
Secondly, growing more plants results in more oxygen being released into the atmosphere, more carbon dioxide being absorbed, and more nutrients for wildlife to benefit your local habitat.
6. Increase Your Time in the Garden with A Greenhouse
As gardening has so many benefits, it seems a shame to limit it to the warmer months.
Few people enjoy spending time in the garden during winter, but the warm, sheltered environment of a greenhouse makes it far more inviting.
It’s far more productive too. While many people’s gardens lie dormant at this time of year, the plants in your greenhouse will be enjoying ideal growing conditions the whole year round, giving you far more reason to be out there nurturing them.
