Growing Under Glass

When thinking about your Plant Conservatory there are various considerations to be made which will make for easier and more varied growing options.

• Try to include at least one raised planter area to give you a good deep planting space. This will need less watering and allow a better root system to develop. It will also allow you to grow larger specimens
  
• Why not put a seat into your planter so you can really enjoy being amongst your plants?
  
• Include some sort of vine supports and vine wires to give climbers a free reign up walls and into the roof space
  
• Keep all your surfaces waterproof where possible. Stone flooring and sills will look great and withstand watering and heavy traffic
  
• A tap or sink are useful accessories and can make life easier
  
• Consider installing an irrigation system to care for your plants' needs if you are likely to be away for periods of time

'The new Alitex Plant Conservatory is a stunning hybrid; it brings the buoyant, breathe easy atmosphere of a greenhouse, together with the warm exotic sophistication of a conservatory. This for me is the most exciting building - full of endless planting possibilities.'
