A large part of inhabitants of this Earth are getting increasingly keen on growing green. We have finally encountered a moment where the environmental awareness has reached a turning point, causing many people to start growing plants and actually fruits and veggies, instead of buying these from their local market. Even regardless of this activity, many really do grow the green out of pure wish to do so – they find it interesting and fulfilling. The latter category of people tend to spend more time in their greenhouse gardens, than they do in their living rooms. We’ve come up with this article, in order to show you how to make it as livable in as humanly possible.

Windows

When it comes to windows, these have more influence on a greenhouse garden than you might think.

·         Appearance – Although this might sound trivial, appearance has a lot to do with your greenhouse’s appeal. Now, we’re not talking about what your gossipy neighbor might say (although this also matters), but also about how you perceive your greenhouse. There’s something special about a greenhouse placed in the middle of your garden – plants crawling up the sides of the windows and practically glowing from within make for a great look, even from the outside.

·         Ventilation – A crucial thing for your plants, as well as for you, if you want to spend quality hours inside of a cozy greenhouse, ventilation plays a key role in a greenhouse’s livability. Make sure that at least some of your windows can be opened.

·         Use whatever you find – Your plants don’t exactly care what kinds of panes of glass you use, and whether or not they’re a match. If a bunch of dump-scavenged glass panes are something you don’t mind, by all means – go for it!

Plant Arrangement

When it comes to growing, pomegranates are simply a must and so are the avocados. Instead of letting your plants grow all over the floor, opt for something far less crowded-looking – allow them to climb up the walls – here, they won’t pose any physical obstacle, while the feel of green will easily be kept – if you’re planning on spending time inside your greenhouse, these advice are crucial.

Furniture

Seeing as how we’re talking about spending some time within your greenhouse garden, you’re going to have to opt for something heftier than a plain wooden chair. Instead, find a proper piece of outdoor fabric and make sure you’ve chosen the fabric that will contrast the green – camouflage is not the name of the game when it comes to finding your chairs inside a greenhouse jungle; more importantly – contrast can do you a world of good outlook-wise.

Examples

·         Aquaponic Dome, Vermont Park – This completely renewable energy-powered compound is producing organic food. It is set to house a sustainable fish pond and aquaponics vegetables. The goal of the Aquaponic Dome is to provide water, food, energy, shelter, as well as community. At the height of 45 feet, this greenhouse is set on half an acre of land and uses exclusively fish food and seedlings. Bacteria will act as a pH regulator in the pond and the fish droppings will act as a natural fertilizer.

·         Quaint Greenhouse – Given to the current owner as a wedding gift by her husband, Kevin Cameron, Heather has a lot to be grateful for. This 10x12-foot greenhouse hosts a bunch of grapevines, as well as carrots, beets, corn and dill.
