Urban gardening for green and sustainable living

Urban gardening in raised garden beds and greenhouses

Urban gardening has become trendy, with people everywhere caring for the environment. The concept is quite simple – to grow food right where you live, even in the middle of a large city. We can all buy ecological fruit and vegetables in the supermarket. Thus, today it is not a question of need as it was during the Second World War when people made gardens in the cities. It is from the sheer pleasure of seeing things grow that inspire people to start an urban gardening project. At the same time, you know that projects like urban gardening also help save Co2 emission as you do not have to transport the vegetables halfway around the world. Furthermore, you can have fresh, ecological food without pesticides and help the environment. Urban gardening can also be a social project if you make a garden together with friends and neighbours.

Growing organic food together with others 

The magic of urban gardening is that you can grow almost anything anywhere as long as you have some good soil, healthy plants, plenty of water, and sunshine. We offer some of the products that will help you contain the soil and more on the balcony, on the roof terrace or anywhere else, more or less. You can have raised flower beds, mini-greenhouses, lean-to greenhouses, nurseries, and cold frames. All our products for urban gardening are made of high-quality materials, which are solid and durable. Suppose you live in the city and arrange a community garden where you need room for many plants. In that case, we can deliver all kinds of greenhouses to fit the project – from small greenhouses up to professional size greenhouses, where you can grow all types of plants for many people.

Polytunnel greenhouses for a more mobile set-up

Urban gardening projects sometimes need to be a little more flexible than a regular garden where you live and grow things year after year. If you set up an urban gardening project in an empty lot in the city or are allowed to produce something in the community park, you may only be allowed to do so a single season. Then we can recommend our lightweight polytunnel greenhouses, which are affordable, easy to assemble, have excellent growth conditions – and can be taken down after the summer and quickly moved to another spot. A popular DIY solution is to build a frame for a greenhouse and cover it with our sturdy and durable greenhouse film. The greenhouse film comes on rolls to make it easy to use.
