How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience? Our Planta Greenhouse has truly transformed our gardening experience, and we're excited to begin our third year of growing. With two full gardening seasons under our belt, we've seen significant growth in both our knowledge and enjoyment of gardening. Each year, we’ve been able to expand on what we've learned, and as a result, our growing season has been extended, and our yields have consistently increased. One of the most significant changes has been starting our seedlings in the early spring. Thanks to the greenhouse, we're able to use coverings and UV lamps to give our plants the perfect start. This has allowed us to grow a wider variety of plants and share many of our seedlings with our community—an aspect we truly love. Additionally, we're now successfully overwintering our pepper plants in the greenhouse, which we believe will lead to larger plants and even bigger yields this year. The design of our greenhouse has been a game-changer for us. We included a dedicated work surface for seed starting and transplanting, which makes gardening tasks so much more efficient. The raised planter boxes, about three feet high, have also made a big difference. No more bending over to tend to our plants—everything is at a comfortable height, reducing strain and making gardening a lot more enjoyable. To make sure we can grow even more, we’ve added garden window boxes to accommodate all our lettuce. We also have an automated watering system (which we love—check out the video!) and automatic roof vents that help regulate temperature, moisture retention, and humidity levels. This ensures our plants are always growing in optimal conditions, regardless of the weather outside. As we continue to improve our skills and grow more confident in our gardening, each year in the Planta Greenhouse becomes more exciting than the last. We can’t wait to see what this next season brings!
What was your experience like buying from Planta Greenhouses? Our experience purchasing from Planta Greenhouses was fantastic from start to finish. The staff at Planta were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. They were always available to answer our questions and made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision. The delivery process was fast and efficient, which was a great start to our journey. While the installation took a little longer than we initially expected, we found the Planta instructional videos to be extremely helpful. They provided clear guidance, and whenever we had questions, the staff was readily available to assist us. Having my son help with the installation made the process even more special—it turned into a memorable time for both of us, and we were able to work together to get our greenhouse set up. Overall, the whole experience with Planta Greenhouses was smooth and enjoyable. The support and resources they provide truly made the process easier and more rewarding.
What type of upgrades have you done? Tell us about your most innovative DIY solutions added to your greenhouse. One of the most exciting upgrades we’ve made to our greenhouse was setting up both electricity and running water. At first, we weren’t sure if we’d be able to accommodate both of these amenities, but with some creative thinking, extra garden hoses, piping, and a little manual labor (like digging!), we were able to make it work. The result is an environment that is mostly self-sustaining, which has been a game changer for us. These upgrades have significantly enhanced both our success and enjoyment in the greenhouse. Having electricity allows us to use grow lights to start seeds and other equipment, while the running water makes it easier to keep everything hydrated and healthy. The ability to manage both of these elements right inside the greenhouse has truly taken our gardening experience to the next level, making it more efficient and rewarding.
What's your favorite thing about your Planta Greenhouse? Our favorite thing about our Planta Greenhouse is the peaceful atmosphere it creates, no matter the season. It's a beautiful space to be in, whether I’m actively working with my plants or just passing through to enjoy the serenity. There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching your garden grow, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with it is unmatched. One of the most special times in the greenhouse is when it’s raining outside. Being inside, listening to the raindrops while staying warm and dry, is such a comforting experience. Similarly, in the early and late seasons, when the weather can be cooler or more unpredictable, the greenhouse offers a lovely sheltered space to retreat to. Add in some favorite tunes, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind. The peace and calm in the greenhouse really make it a sanctuary.
Anything else you'd like to add? We’ve had an incredible amount of snow this winter, and we are beyond impressed with how well the Planta Greenhouse has withstood the heavy snow load. It’s been a real test of its durability, and we’ve had no issues at all. The greenhouse has held up beautifully, and it’s reassuring to know that it can handle such extreme conditions. We’re grateful for the design and quality that Planta has put into their greenhouses. Thank you, Planta Greenhouses, for providing us with such a reliable and sturdy structure!
