Genesys Greenhouse Supplies & Services

Did you know.... The French botanist Charles Lucien Bonaparte is often credited with building the first practical modern greenhouse in Leiden, Holland, during the 1800s to grow medicinal tropical plants. Originally only on the estates of the rich, the growth of the science of botany caused greenhouses to spread to the universities. The French called their first greenhouses orangeries, since they were used to protect orange trees from freezing. As pineapples became popular, pineries, or pineapple pits, were built.

Did you know that the orientation of your greenhouse can have a positive or negative effect on the plants that you grow? In North America the optimal orientation for a greenhouse is usually directly south or southeast, because in cold climates (like Canada can be) its important to capture the early morning sun. These recommendations, by the way, should be treated as guidelines, not hard and fast rules; its important to examine your situation carefully well before you start your build.
