 Custom glasshouses // Private GardenThese 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. www.private-garden.com  Biostar Premium Cold Frame –Mini Greenhouse //Exaco Trading CompanyThe Mini Greenhouse is a great alternative to a permanent greenhouse if space or complexities are a concern.
