Is this your first greenhouse? YES
What year did you install this greenhouse? 2022
What do you grow inside your greenhouse? We predominantly use our greenhouse to grow heat-loving crops such as tomatoes (multiple varieties), peppers (mix of sweet and hot), cucumbers for pickling, and most recently an Armenian variety, as well as eggplants and herbs. 2025 plans include a challenge to grow more crops and longer, as well as establishing it for the majority of our seed starting process.
How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience? Prior to purchasing my Planta Greenhouse, I had experience gardening in three different climates and growing zones in the Province of British Columbia. When my husband and I purchased our first and current home, my dream of establishing my very own garden from a blank canvas—tree and stump removal included—came to life. I knew the first thing I wanted was a greenhouse. Having a greenhouse structure really extends the season and provides such a lovely ambiance in the garden zone.
What was your experience like buying from Planta Greenhouses? After some research and reading previous customer testimonials, I knew I wanted a Planta Greenhouse. From the moment I hit "purchase" to the day the structure arrived on the courier truck, the Planta team has been great to work with.
What type of upgrades have you done? Tell us about your most innovative DIY solutions added to your greenhouse. The imagination can get carried away, especially when daydreaming of warmer summer garden days to come. What started with an open greenhouse and growing in buckets has now seen the addition of some garden beds, raised drain flooring, and a found-on-the-side-of-the-road metal shelving unit placed in a corner that fits like a glove. The vision for 2025 is to install a heater to extend the growing season on either end of the summer.
What's your favorite thing about your Planta Greenhouse? My favorite thing about my Planta Greenhouse is that in the spring we constructed it, I was pregnant without knowing it. The following January, when I brought my newborn home, standing in it a couple of minutes every day to soak up sunshine in the dead of winter was truly the medicine I needed as a new mom. Fast forward two years later, and it has continued to be a very special place where my toddler and I spend many hours of our days together. He helps me tend to the plants, and as I watch him, I reflect on days I spent playing at my own mother's feet as she had her hands in the soil.
Anything else you'd like to add? To anyone looking to add a greenhouse to their garden, I do not hesitate to recommend going with a Planta structure.
