o you dream of huge, juicy red tomatoes and bright green cucumbers as long as your arm? Well then, it might be time to invest in a greenhouse. Glinting down at the bottom of the garden and holding a world of horticultural possibilities, a greenhouse is a door to more produce and more variety in the convenient location of your very own garden. Modern greenhouses can look stunning and offer a real feature for your garden. From the smallest portable growing zone to an intricate Victorian inspired glasshouse akin to something one might find in a famous botanical garden, greenhouses come in all shapes and sizes. What type of greenhouse you opt for will depend on the space you have available, your budget and your personal taste. First, decide where in your garden your greenhouse will sit; ideally a sunny, sheltered and accessible spot.
