Greens All Winter in an Unheated Greenhouse

Is this your first greenhouse? Yes

What year did you install this greenhouse? 2024

What do you grow inside your greenhouse? Lettuce, spinach, mesclun mix, carrots, strawberries, peas, cilantro, tomatoes

How did your Planta Greenhouse improve your gardening experience? I was excited to extend my growing abilities for a month or so either end of the season (I’m on an island off the east coast of Canada so it gets COLD). Little did I know that my entirely unheated greenhouse would allow me to continue growing greens throughout the entire winter!

What was your experience like buying from Planta Greenhouses? Superb customer service. I contacted customer service during my build, and once since (with a question) and have always received a response within the hour. And an ‘above and beyond’ response too.

What type of upgrades you've done? Tell us about your most innovative DIY solutions added to your greenhouse. Magnets! Using magnets I’ve been able to hang strategically placed shade cloths when required. So I can sit and happily read my book in 20 degree sunshine while outside the greenhouse it’s -20.

What's your favorite thing about your Planta Greenhouse? It is easily the best purchase I have ever made. I was excited at the prospect of growing food a few more months of the year, but my greenhouse has ended up being so much more than that. It’s my private sunny retreat in the dead of winter where I can smell the outdoors and still see greenery. I had no idea what a winter mental health boost having a greenhouse and a continued connection to nature would bring.

Anything else you'd like to add? I feel like I finally have the clubhouse of my dreams that I never even realized I’d been wanting…
