Cold frames
Maximized Growing Potential
Grow fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers through every season. With the ability to control temperature and light, you can cultivate plants even during harsh winters or unexpected frosts.
Weather Protection
Safeguard plants from frost, wind, and pests. The sturdy frame and durable panels ensure your crops remain unaffected by sudden weather changes or curious wildlife.
Easy to Use
Simple setup and maintenance make them suitable for all gardeners. Designed to pair perfectly with raised beds, cold frames make gardening accessible even for beginners.
What's the Difference Between Greenhouses and Cold Frames?
Both cold frames and greenhouses provide controlled environments to support plant growth, but their designs and purposes differ significantly. A cold frame is compact and portable, perfect for small-scale gardening tasks like starting seeds, overwintering plants, or providing extra warmth during cooler months. In contrast, a greenhouse offers larger, permanent structures ideal for year-round cultivation and diverse planting. For gardeners with limited space, a mini greenhouse cold frame is an excellent option, offering the benefits of both systems in a compact footprint. On the other hand, traditional greenhouses suit larger spaces, allowing for greater crop diversity and all-season growth.

Cold Frame Gardening
By creating a controlled environment, cold frames allow you to start seeds early in the spring, shield tender plants from frost in the fall, and overwinter hardy vegetables like kale and carrots during colder months. Placing your cold frame in a south-facing location ensures maximum sunlight, while its natural insulation offers energy-efficient temperature control. Ideal for leafy greens, herbs, and root vegetables, cold frames also provide protection from pests, heavy rain, and fluctuating temperatures, making them a versatile solution for any gardener.
