A Gardener Can Garden All Year with a Greenhouse

This one doesn't take much space

Gardman R688 Walk-In Greenhouse

Extend your growing season with a Gardman Complete Walk-In Greenhouse Kit. A greenhouse offers the plant enthusiast the advantage of earlier blooms and crops. Its controlled environment will allow your plants to thrive in a more even temperature and is perfect for cheating the weather. This kit includes everything needed to construct a walk-in greenhouse. The innovative polycarbonate glazing is safer than glass, offering no danger to children or pets. The glazing's twin-wall design is excellent for insulating and diffuses light to prevent scorching of young and delicate plants. The galvanized steel frame and aluminum frame are coated after drilling to leave no untreated edges behind. The steel base bolts together securely to form a stable, level foundation, while its thick metal creates five extra inches of head room. The Gardman Complete Walk-In Greenhouse will form the perfect safe haven for your plants. Install this greenhouse on a level surface to ensure proper assembly.

Compact Greenhouse for the Gardener

I also feature a selection of full-sized greenhouses if you want to give a truly impressive gift.

Gardman R687 4-Tier Mini Greenhouse

I bought this greenhouse to start seedlings in the house before transplanting them outside for spring, and also to host a little herb garden in the kitchen area.

This is a very large unit, of respectable quality, and very affordable. I have yet to find another unit this size and quality online or in catalogues that doesn't cost twice this much. In fact, this same greenhouse is selling in some places for double this price, plus shipping, so Amazon has quite the bargain here.

The greenhouse is incredibly easy to put together. We had it out of the box and set up in less than half an hour. The shelves are a thin metal lattice, to let sunlight filter down to the bottom levels, but the metal is strong and feels very sturdy. The cover has enough lee-way to slip on and off easily, as well as ties to hold it in place, and extends well to the ground. (review by Ana Mardoll on Amazon)

    Great Ideas, nowadays gardens are making a Comeback! Especially with the Increase of Gas Prices, Groceries and Daily needs, people are trying to save where they can! Growing a Garden takes work, but it does save Money in the Long Run.
