There are many plant varieties and they all require different night temperatures to sustain their growth.

You can feel the cool and crisp air in the morning as soon as the calendar says October. Night temperatures are dropping not only outside but also in the greenhouse. Now is the time for planning and preparedness.

Leading in Greenhouse Strength

BC Greenhouse Builders is leading the pack on was to build and maintaining a greenhouse in almost any climate. 

Sterility in the greenhouse sounds somber but in a few instances, it truly matters and saves gardenersfrom hassle and disappointment. Here is where I heed caution.

Last Summer I realized My little food garden was looking dull- prolific - but dull. To remedy the tedious rows, I decided to try three uncommon annuals to improve the appearance. To my surprise, they all flowered for five months. These plentiful flowers did so much to spiff up the vegetable Greenhouse Garden that this summer, they've made their debut in the flowerbed.

We really do build greenhouses in any custom color! This periwinkle greenhouse was shipped to Oregon and the picture are from during that installation process. Would you pick a color as wild as this one? Or something more classic?

Optimizing Sunlight, Temperature, and More: How to Choose the Best Greenhouse Location

Believe it or not, there is an ideal location for your greenhouse! Certain locations will not have the optimal lighting for your plans during a different season.

Forcing Bulbs

For the friends with the winter blues, or being impressive on Valentine's Day, consider forcing bulbs. "Forcing" sounds ruthless, but it's the process of condensing the bulb's winter and spring, so the flowers bloom in early winter instead of mid-Spring. A greenhouse makes this easy, and foolproof.

This is the new rooftop greenhouse at Indiana Wesleyan University during the installation phase.  At 28x75 feet long, this commercial rooftop greenhouse will serve the Division of Natural Sciences.   Greenhouses for schools are certainly a growing trend and we are happy to be a part of this new exciting project for IWU!

Truth be told, I can easily ignore a bit of soil spilled on the benches or an occasional unsterilized pot for seedlings. I don't always wear gloves, or fastidiously wash labels. I like the results in my greenhouse. My Sweet Peas bloom early, my tomatoes grow fat on the vine. A little mess, a few germs - my plants and I are no worse for the wear.
