Rhino Greenhouses explain why you should grow in a greenhouse

Have you been thinking about buying a greenhouse? Are you wondering what’s in it for you and your plants? Here, Rhino Greenhouses share their top reasons to start growing in a greenhouse, along with recommendations for beginners and experts alike.

Whether you’re new to gardening or an experienced grower, the reasons for growing in a greenhouse are usually very similar. Greenhouses can provide several benefits which are simply unattainable when growing outside, especially in the UK where the weather is, shall we say, unpredictable. At Rhino Greenhouses, during our 20+ years’ experience in the world of greenhouses, we’ve heard just about every reason why people decide to start growing in a greenhouse. Here are some of the most popular reasons.

Year-round growing

Moisture, warmth and light are essential for strong plant growth and a greenhouse provides all these elements in a stable growing environment. Designed to extend the growing season, greenhouses protect seedlings from extreme weather conditions, whilst allowing you to grow a wider variety of plants that you wouldn’t normally be able to grow outside.

Protection from pests and diseases

We’ve all been here before – when your plants pick up a disease or a flying pest comes along and ruins them, it can be so disheartening. While it won’t eliminate the risk, a greenhouse can help minimise these problems by providing an isolated environment for prevention or treatment.

Maximising available space

Not everybody is lucky enough to have a big garden, which is why many growers choose a greenhouse to increase their growing space. With free-standing staging, integral staging and other solutions providing additional growing levels, you can drastically increase your yield.
