Top 4 benefits of greenhouse growing

Greenhouse affordability  

Breakthrough materials have increased the lifespan of greenhouses, and maximised design efficiencies, reducing the overall cost involved in greenhouse maintenance. Your initial investment, when well cared for and maintained, will last you many years of fruitful growing seasons.

Extend the growing season

With an energy efficient structure, minimal heating and strategic planning, you can enjoy something from the greenhouse all year long. Greenhouse growing can also benefit your outdoor gardening. Many seeds require warmth in order to germinate and develop into healthy seedlings. Seedlings can be planted earlier in the season so they are ready to be planted when the weather outside becomes warm. If the growing season is short, getting ahead can make a big difference. Greenhouses also allow for growing crops later in the season. Plus greenhouses can extend the range of plants you can grow in your climate, giving you more choice in what you want to grow.

Save on groceries 

With Canada’s grocery store prices among the highest in the world, being able to grow your own food year-round brings not only the benefits of saving money at the grocery store, but it also gives you the satisfaction of bringing the healthiest and tastiest food to your family’s table.

Added Protection

Herbs and vegetables thrive in a warm and humid climate, and this is what a greenhouse is designed to provide! Greenhouses offer protection to seedlings from birds, insects and slugs, as well as other garden visitors such as rabbits and squirrels. They also offer protection from the elements. The unique design of Solawrap in particular, has been proven to provide protection from high winds, rain, hail and snow.
