There is little doubt that a backyard greenhouse
extends the range of garden plants and the season in the garden.
This page will focus on the landscaping and general use of these
marvelous additions to our gardening.
All of the information here is from my over 30 years or running my own
greenhouse business and being in the nursery trade . I've done this commercially as

practical realities of growing in a greenhouse. No sales stuff -
no theoretical knowledge - just practical tips and hints from my
experience.
