Greenhouses

A home greenhouse is a structured garden building designed to create a controlled environment for growing plants. A greenhouse allows gardeners, hobbyists, and those interested in plant cultivation to grow flowers, shrubs, herbs, plants and crops in the comfort of their outside spaces.

Cold frames are a smaller version of a greenhouse and are an essential accessory for extending the growing season and acting as a halfway house between a windowsill and a greenhouse. Small greenhouses are perfect for tiny spaces like balconies or small gardens and are ideal for beginners.

Our greenhouses for sale come in diverse sizes and designs, ranging from simple setups to more sophisticated structures. These might incorporate sheds and workshops or be developed into orangeries, conservatories or plant nurseries with ventilation, heating and humidity control settings.

Home greenhouses protect young plants from wind and extreme weather conditions, pests and unwanted interference while extending the growing season. They are especially useful for shielding vulnerable seedlings during early development stages. This controlled environment ensures better plant protection and improves the chances of successful germination and growth.

The design, site and installation of a greenhouse are key to a good environment for plants to grow. When planning your greenhouse, it is crucial to pick the optimal location, considering factors like maximising sunlight and minimising wind exposure.

Greenhouses can be made from aluminium or wood. Clear views through toughened glass and polycarbonate glazing reveal the outside garden. Aluminium frames are lightweight and durable, popular with many gardeners. Wood gives a traditional look and good insulation; polycarbonate glazing gives superior light diffusion and impact resistance.

When choosing a greenhouse, you need to consider size, style and functionality to meet your gardening needs. Greenhouses are built to a high standard of durability and aesthetics. Modern greenhouses have efficient designs to promote plant growth and energy efficiency.

The frame of a greenhouse is a major component, and brands like Palram Canopia, Forest Garden and Halls have high-quality, durable frames that can withstand all weather. This is why guarantees of up to fifteen years are available on selected models. Greenhouse gardening requires consideration of temperature, security and maintenance for a successful growing experience. Look at different greenhouse options, traditional, modern and elegant Victorian styles to find the one for your garden.

Thousands of customers have found their perfect greenhouse by considering size, material and functionality. The UK’s leading greenhouse manufacturers like Halls have a wide range of greenhouses to suit all needs and preferences. When choosing a greenhouse, you need to review and compare different models to find the one that suits your gardening experience and needs. The best place to position your greenhouse is where there is ample space and it is safe, especially if you have children around.

We have everything you need to grow healthy plants in our outdoor living selection. A cold frame is suitable for growing your plants from seeds. Once the seedlings have emerged from their peat pots, you can move your tiny plants into your greenhouse. 

Some plants prefer to stay in the greenhouse all year round. Exotic flowers and tropical plants also prefer the humidity of a hot house.

Our collection of greenhouse sizes caters to different garden styles and preferences, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your needs.

Here is a list of plants, flowers and produce that prefer a warm start:

• Flowers

Begonias, Fuchsias and Geraniums are happy starting their lives in greenhouses. These flowers bloom beautifully thanks to the increased humidity offered by your garden incubator

• Fruit

Tomatoes are a greenhouse classic. They flourish with constant warmth and light; Strawberries also grow well in the nursery setting, while Peppers and Radishes also thrive in indoor botanical conditions

• Hardy plants

such as succulents love a hothouse, especially as they do not require watering and take advantage of the humidity instead

• Herbs

Mint and Parsley grow successfully in UK garden conditions. More delicate herbs such as Basil, Coriander, Lemongrass, Oregano, and Rosemary will thrive and be much more prolific inside a greenhouse

• Vegetables and produce

quick-growing leafy greens such as Lettuce and Spinach are ideal for first-time greenhouse growers
