Do you like to grow flowers and plants? You'll love your own greenhouse!
A greenhouse maintains a growth promoting environment for plants through
all four seasons so that the avid gardening hobbyist can enjoy gardening
all year long. Many enthusiasts enjoy the daily springlike atmosphere within
their home greenhouse as the winter rages just outside. They can take pride in an
exotic flower bloom and benefit from countless hours of stress reduction
in their "garden under glass".
Greenhouse gardening
affords flexibility to the pursuit of a gardening hobby despite today's hectic schedules.
While most people prefer to tend to their gardening in the daylight, others with less flexible schedules
will be able to tend to their gardening in the evening. A greenhouse
makes gardening possible all day and all year round. And, because of the demand for houseplants
and flowers, many hobbyists are able to sell plants that they have grown themselves from cuttings,
thus covering their greenhouse maintenance expenses such as heat, water,
and materials.
The best spot for a greenhouse
is on the south or southeast side of the house, in a sunny or partially
shaded area. A southern exposure maximizes sunlight to the greenhouse during
the winter when it is needed the most, and the home shelters it from the
northern arctic blasts. A lean-to greenhouse model gets attached to the
house, and may have a doorway from the greenhouse into the house and/or
to the outside. A freestanding greenhouse model, which affords more growing
room, may be attached to the house at one end, or situated entirely away
from the house.
A sunroom or solarium:
Is a very effective way of bringing the outdoors inside, improve
your homes value and your quality of life. Most people enjoy
the dramatic effect of opening up a room and living out in the open under
a glass roof. This increases indoor living space while giving a modest
sized room the appearance of being much larger. The increased light
levels will brighten the area while reducing lighting costs.
