Barry Holdsworth - Garden Management

Growing under glass

Growing under glass covers all aspects of managing atriums, conservatories, greenhouses and coldframes. This includes the siting and design of structures for growing under glass, the selection of plants and the maintenance and management of new and existing structures.

Specialist advice is available on growing under glass specialist plants, including help with building and improving a collection of glasshouse plants and working with specialist nurseries to select only the highest quality plants.

The consultancy is able to supply creative displays that will deliver an immediate impact to any situation requiring attention. In order to ensure the continued good health of the plants, detailed cultural instructions are provided especially developed for growing under glass.

Biological Control - Natural predators are used to control pests so reducing the need for continual spraying.
This approach can be used effectively to benefit the crops, the gardener and the environment.
