2. Abundant Greens Galore
Fall is the ideal season to grow an abundance of leafy greens like kale, spinach, and Swiss chard. These cool-season crops thrive in the controlled environment of your greenhouse, ensuring a steady supply of fresh, nutrient-packed greens for your salads, sandwiches, soups and smoothies.

3. Blooms that Brighten Your Day
Don't let the shorter days steal your gardening joy. Planting fall-blooming flowers like chrysanthemums, asters, and pansies can add a burst of color to your greenhouse. But also fill it with geraniums, ferns, petunias and more! Enjoy the cheerful sight of blossoms even as the outdoor world fades into winter.
