Maximize the growing space in your greenhouse
We are contacted daily by people looking to purchase a greenhouse to grow their own fruits and vegetables. Some concerns we hear are about food quality, potential supply chain issues, or even just having fresh produce readily available. When you are a gardener with a smaller sized greenhouse, you have to get creative to make space for new growth.
Did you know: Our beginner level 8x8 greenhouse, The Sunhaven, can yield hundred of pounds of fruit and vegetables per year!

Use the floor
Line barrels and planters beneath the benches. It's the perfect spot to force bulbs or grow potatoes.
