Let the beauty of growing your own vegetables be the cherry on the cake!
In this article, we have compiled the most inspiring conservatory ideas for you. Let's add a fresh beauty to your winter landscape together by using these 5 creative tips.
1- Determine the location
Let's start by finding a corner in our gardens that is sheltered from the wind, facing south if possible.
How close are we to home? One of the facades of the house or your veranda can be an ideal spot to create a conservatory. Since it has a connection with the house, it keeps your winter garden warm no matter how low the temperatures are. For example, you can turn your garden, balcony, terrace or veranda, which you cannot use efficiently enough, into a winter garden by making use of heat-insulated roof and window systems. There are other solutions If you don't have a shady spot near your house, it may also be a good idea to surround your garden with a temporary barrier. For this, you can also make use of glass (also called 'cold frame') used to make greenhouses. Thus, you can protect your area from strong winds and snowfall. Indispensable: Cleaning When you determine the location, it will come to cleaning. We recommend removing all leaves from your area and mowing the lawn immediately around it, if any. Thus, you will create a beautiful foundation for your conservatory, while keeping insects and rodents out of your area.
2- Plant selection

Sweet joy: Flowers! So let's decide on the flowers first. What kind of flowers do you like?

Vegetables to cheer up the tables So what should your vegetables be? Sowing seeds of cabbage, carrots, onions, lettuce, potatoes, spinach, kale or broccoli can be a good start. You can use large square and rectangular pots for this job. A few tips for planting and care Make sure that the plants are about 15-20 cm apart and tend to grow so that they do not become tangled in the soil and on the surface. You can sow the seeds to a depth of about 15 cm. You can use mulch or bark to retain soil moisture. We recommend that you complete the planting before the coldest times of the year arrive and water frequently by researching the growing conditions of each plant.
