Comments about Garden Starter® Greenhouse:

I've had my greenhouse over ten years now and I love it. In the spring I start my plants in it for my garden. I grow everything from garden vegetables to perennial flowers. During the summer it's a hot house for special plants that love heat. In the fall it's a place to harden off and extend season for house plants. During the winter it is a perfect place to over winter half hardy zone plants or plants newly divided and potted up in the fall for spring planting out. You just have to visit it on sunny days and make sure nothing in their dries out. I've had Johnny jump ups blooming and cat mint growing in it all winter. The panels have gotten cloudy with age but the loss of light doesn't seem to make any difference to my plants. When I set out better looking plants than you can buy at a commercial greenhouse in the spring I don't think it's much of an issue. The only maintenance I've ever had to do is keep a shade cloth on it in July and August and the vent in good repair and hose the roof clean. I only have one complaint about it. It needs some cross ventilation for the extreme heat it will build up. A vent over the door or maybe even a door that is "Dutch" would fix the problem. As it is I have to leave the door open all summer which is an open invitation to stray cats and bees. Neither or which are welcome in there. It was one of the best things I've ever purchased and if something happened to it I would have another one.

Comments about Garden Starter® Greenhouse:

This greenhouse has been such an outstanding investment. The quality is 200% better than any other "kits" on the market. Framing is very sturdy, panels are strong, exceptional product for the price. Handles the snow load of northern Michigan with not a single problem. I recommend this to anyone I know who wants a greenhouse!
