A year-round guide to growing under glass

Tom Brown’s guide treats the greenhouse as a flexible growing space for both edible and ornamental plants. It brings together practical considerations—from planning and maintenance to starting seedlings, protecting summer crops, and overwintering tender plants—with ideas for extending the harvest and enjoying flowers beyond the usual outdoor season. The scope also reaches beyond full-sized greenhouses: patio greenhouses, cold frames, and cloches are included as ways to grow under glass in smaller outdoor spaces.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners planning a greenhouse or learning how to use one they already have.
  • Growers interested in extending the season for homegrown produce and flowers.
  • People with limited outdoor space considering cold frames, cloches, or a patio greenhouse.

Book overview

The ultimate guide to gardening under glass.

Thinking of buying a greenhouse but aren't sure what to grow in it, or how? Or maybe you've inherited a garden with a greenhouse, but haven't got a clue what to do with it? Whatever your journey to growing under glass, this book gives a clear, inspiring, and brilliantly illustrated approach to all things greenhouse.

A protected growing environment provides shelter and warmth to a broad range of tender plants, both edible and ornamental, and can open up a fascinating new world of gardening. Starting plants off early under glass also enables you to extend the growing season, providing additional weeks and months of homegrown, sustainable produce to enjoy and flowers to admire.

From initial planning considerations and ongoing maintenance to all the exciting and unusual plants that can be grown; from overwintering exotics, to hardening off seedlings and protecting summer crops against pests and diseases, there is a wealth of information to be shared. And you don't need a large garden: with a patio greenhouse, cold frame, and cloches, anyone with outside space can enjoy growing under glass.
