How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience? It has created the perfect microclimate for my plants to grow and thrive. Living in the north, we have a very limited amount of warm days and are subject to very late spring frosts and early fall frosts. There are not enough growing days to grow tomatoes and peppers – the Planta extends my growing season!

What was your experience like buying from Planta Greenhouses? It was very easy to buy, packaged well, and so convenient that we could pick it up with our pickup truck.

What type of upgrades have you done? Tell us about your most innovative DIY solutions added to your greenhouse. We set the greenhouse on a 3-foot base to raise it up and give additional vertical space for growing. We added raised beds on the exterior of the greenhouse. On the south side, we grow determinate tomatoes and on the north side, we grow cabbage. We built raised beds inside the greenhouse for planting. This spring, we will add power and water lines.

What's your favorite thing about your Planta Greenhouse? My favorite thing is the auto-venting windows that open and close when the greenhouse gets too hot and needs fresh air.
