What made you get a Planta Greenhouse?
After much research we determined that Planta had the best quality, features,size, and esthetics for the money. We are in North Carolina and felt that a greenhouse that is produced and used in Canada would be more than adequate for our sub-tropical climate that on occasion has single digit temps and up to six inches of snow.
Purchase of a green house has been a long time dream(71 years old) ,that was put off till we discovered Planta. We spent a bit more for it than others we saw on line, but got a really quality product.
We love the two doors and transoms, and the thermo statically controlled roof vent. Makes it easy to control temp in warm weather. In winter we use a radiator stile oil filed heater; safe, economical, and no blowing hot air to dry out plants.
This winter we had a braided bonsai azalea bloom in January, And some residents of our wildlife sanctuary (frogs and a wren) found the green house a safe place to hang out, eat bugs, and hatch some babies.
There is, of course, the wider range of plants I can grow with the green house; veggies in winter and perfect conditions for the agave and succulent collection.

How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience?
The variety of plants I can grow has increased. The amount of labor and the need for intensive care is less. Having a structure just for plants(no tool shed) has allowed for remote monitoring of temp and humidity(blue tooth app). A large blue Christmas bulb lets us know that electricity is flowing. Bulb imparts a lovely blue glow at night and has ben on continuously for 1.5 years.

What made you get a Planta Greenhouse?
After doing a lot of research we decided that this greenhouse would suit our needs for quality and price. We are in our sixties and seventies and this is our first greenhouse. We wanted something that would last through our gardening years and be fairly low maintenance. Now I also am able to safely house some of the special plants I have and grow a few veggies under ideal conditions. I really like the design and size.
