From a 100-Day Season to Months of Abundant Harvests
What do you grow in your greenhouse?
A variety of vegetables including tomatoes, peppers, okra, radishes, and peas. Many cut flowers including dahlias, snapdragons, and celosia. Additionally I donate hanging flower baskets each year to my county fair so I hang those inside and they do so well inside the greenhouse.
How did this greenhouse change your growing season?
As a gardener with a short growing season of about 100 days, it was hard to grow a lot of what I wanted. With the Sungrow 26, my season has easily extended to 7-8 months. Flowers are protected from the wind and summer storms, ensuring I have quality blooms for my farmer's market stand every week. Peppers love the heat and protection in the greenhouse and I've easily doubled or tripled the amount I harvest each year. Hanging flower baskets are more full and healthy than they ever were before being outside in the elements. Overall, my greenhouse has been a wonderful addition to my garden.

How was your experience buying from Planta Greenhouses?
Purchasing was extremely easy online and I've had little need for contact with customer service after, but when I have they've been very helpful.
What's your favourite thing about your Planta Greenhouse?
My favorite thing about my Sungrow is just being out there and seeing how healthy and happy the plants are inside. I don't have to stress about my sensitive plants anymore when we get a summer storm because I know they're protected inside the greenhouse.
What do you want to say to a person considering buying a Planta Greenhouse?
I built and filled raised beds in my base prior to installing the greenhouse. After installation, I added paver flooring making it easier to maintain and keep tidy.
