Green House
 

Hi friends
I have not experience enough for garden arts.
I read the word " Green house".
Please one tell me:
What's this ?, Used for what? and what's benefit for us?
and why?
Thanks.

It is similar to a glasshouse. A structure that has a green coloured plastic
over it, mostly see through. In it you keep plants.
Ever been to a nursery that has a section that my be in one of the
"greenhouses" or at least has green alsonite for roffing, giving a green
type of light coming through? That is similar.
I have seen shadehouses covered with a green shadecloth also called
greenhouses.

So basically it's used for putting plants in. It can be used as a step down
in the process of "hardening off". e.g. Plant comes from glasshouse,
greenhouse, then to a semi protected area, then full sun.

Also I have seen indoor plants inside these greenhouses, fern/rainforest
type ones too.

Hope that helps a bit

In addition to what Andrew said about green houses, now the term is being
used more and more for all buildings, other than your home, used for raising
plants. The term will apply to the PVC framework covered with plastic
sheeting, or the expensive ones with glass or Plexiglas with
thermostatically controlled vents. The color of the plastic doesnt seem to
matter anymore. They all seem to be "green houses". Good luck. Dwayne

My grandmother had a greenhouse in Brisbane. It gave partial shade to
her ferns and staghorns, and allowed shade-loving plants to be grown
there even though Brisbane is a hot sunny place in the Summer. Her
greenhouse was built entirely of timber slats and nothing else: walls and
roof were painted slats, and it had no floor (or to put it another way,
it had an earthen floor). The slats had a gap of a few inches between
them, thus allowing in sun and rain. There was a frangipani tree outside
near the western corner, giving extra shading there during late afternoon,
and a hornets nest in another corner that kept us kids from playing in
there among the plants. :-)

Nowadays, as others have said, modern greenhouses generally have nylon
shadecloth over the roof and walls to reduce the intensity of the sunlight.
I guess shadecloth also gives a bit of protection against buffeting by the
wind, and during winter would afford some protection against light frosts.
