Why a Glass Greenhouse Beats Outdoor Gardening

1. Climate Control = Happy Plants

A glass greenhouse traps sunlight, creating a warm, stable environment even when it’s snowing outside.

🔹 Winter Protection – Keeps frost away from tender plants.
🔹 Summer Cooling – Proper ventilation prevents overheating.
🔹 Humidity Control – Reduces mold and fungal risks.

2. Longer Growing Season = More Harvests

With a greenhouse, you can:

• Start seeds 6-8 weeks earlier in spring.

• Grow heat-loving crops (like peppers) well into fall.

• Keep herbs and greens producing all winter.

3. Fewer Pests, Healthier Plants

No more battling slugs, rabbits, or harsh winds! A glass greenhouse acts like a protective bubble for your plants.
