Your greenhouse
interior layout will be all your own ideas. There
are many ways that you can layout the interior of
your greenhouse to meet your own wants. If you like
hanging plants better than potted plants, you can
create six or twelve hanging racks in our greenhouse
and still have room to walk. If you love bedding
plants, you can create the shelving that can hold
hundreds of plants for your spring garden use. So,
let’s look a little closer in to what you need to
consider when you are laying out the interior of
your greenhouse.
Your greenhouse interior should include a corner
where you can work. A space, a bench or table top,
where you can put a pot or basket, and work with
seeds and dirt when transplanting, planting or
pruning. If you try to do this on the shelving of
when the pots are hanging it can be very difficult.
In your greenhouse you will also want a space to
hold your supplies. These supplies include your pest
control supplies, your pruning planting and hand
tools, your dirt, your extra water, your gloves, and
your ‘stuff’. If your workspace is large enough, you
can store these types of items below the workspace
or you can also consider using the floor under the
shelving as storage space, as this is where the
least amount of light will get to in the greenhouse.
The one concern when you are using under the
shelving space for storage is the flow of water, and
what tools might get rusty, any books that you use
as reference in the greenhouse could get wet, and
your dirt that you can keeping for planting and
repotting could become ‘seeded’ from the plants
above if you don’t keep it sealed.
There are tables and potting benches that you can
fold up and store under shelving when they are not
in use, and you can find almost any sized needed
container with a lid at a local discount store to
keep your supplies in the greenhouse dry.
That’s it! The entire layout of the greenhouse is
your choice. You choose what you use, how you want
to use it and where you would like to place it to
meet your own gardening habits in the greenhouse.
