Plant Inn // Poly-Tex
You can help your customers jump in the raised garden bed craze with the Plant Inn from Poly-Tex. It allows them to garden anywhere, while providing comfort and accessibility. Unbreakable polycarbonate top panels protect plants from pests and cold, and they create a greenhouse environment for the garden to grow. The Plant Inn is easy to merchandise; it comes ready-to-assemble in one box. www.poly-tex.com

Custom glasshouses // Private Garden
These elegant greenhouses are available to help you enhance your center (or to offer to customers to help them enhance their homes). The Pithouse model (top) is used primarily by those focusing on vegetables and seedling propagation. The Lean To glasshouse (middle) is used on locations with premium southern exposure. The Messenger System is named for Thomas Messenger, who had a passion for plants and the greenhouses that allowed them to thrive. This glasshouse model is designed based on his original designs.

Biostar Premium Cold Frame –Mini Greenhouse //Exaco Trading Company
The Mini Greenhouse is a great alternative to a permanent greenhouse if space or complexities are a concern. The unusually thick panels (8 mm) retain heat far better than even glass and are stronger. Whether it’s a condo garden on a rooftop, deck or patio, or it it’s used in a typical yard, the Biostar Premium Cold-Frame provides a safe protected area free of birds, pests, pets, slugs and snails. www.exaco.com
