In the greenhouse we can raise flowering plants for the garden, bedding plants, dazzling cannas and dahlias, and give vegetables an early start. These make way in summer for tomatoes, cucumbers and other crops that struggle outdoors but yield abundantly under glass, as well as peaches, grapes and other fruit. In winter a greenhouse shelters plants like bananas that are not suited to our climate A greenhouse, says Swithinbank, is the greatest asset a garden can have. Even the smallest glass space has the potential to become the nucleus of the garden, so beautiful that everyone is drawn inside to admire the show. A greenhouse can be elevated from a utility to a showcase full of ornamental plants. With exotics such as brugmansias and gardenias, pelargoniums, cacti, carnivorous plants and other decorative and unusual plants, it is possible to create an attractive display throughout the year. In Greenhouse Gardener Swithinbank brings these opportunities within any gardener's sights. With beautiful color plates to illustrate the glories of the greenhouse, the author provides expert practical advice, describing how to grow individual plants and explaining techniques such as sowing seed, potting on and ventilation - empowering you to follow one of the most exciting pathways gardening has to offer.
