Growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers in a greenhouse is a fantastic way to boost your business. Greenhouses provide a more stable environment than growing outdoors and the quality shows in your finished product. You can even significantly extend your local growing season for most plants because you can heat a greenhouse or add supplemental lighting when the temperatures and hours of light drop during the late fall, winter, and early spring months. Here is more on why you should grow in a greenhouse:

A Stable Environment

A greenhouse gives you far more control over your growing conditions than if you were to plant outside. Your crops will be sheltered from exposure to wind, rain, animals, and certain other environmental hazards. Many plants’ ideal growing temperatures are far more stable than the climate in much of North America. When nights are too cold, some plants will slow respiration dramatically or even succumb to frostbite. When you grow your crops in a greenhouse, you can easily plan ahead for abnormal weather events like a sudden drop or spike in temperature.

Extend Your Season

Any vegetable or fruit farmer can tell you how prices soar for ripe produce during the off-season. Give yourself a leg up on the competition by extending your growing season by several months in a greenhouse. Add heating for cold nights and supplemental lighting for the shorter days as fall turns to winter or add fans for extra circulation and cooling during the summer. Extending your growing season in a greenhouse can boost crop yields and the profitability of your business.
