Get Growing in 2013

March tends to be the peak month for greenhouse sales but many customers are missing out on important growing time by not purchasing earlier in the year.  Getting a greenhouse in January will give you a great head start.

There are lots of things to do in your greenhouse in January.  Our brochure contains a useful fold out growing guide, here’s a snapshot of the advice given for January;

• Feed spring flowering bulbs such as Hyacinth, Crocus and Narcissus.
• Store Polyanthus and container-grown Roses
• Take Chrysanthemum cuttings
• Pot up rooted seedlings, such as Pelargonium
• Sow some bedding plants in a heated propatgator, for example Lobelia, Verbena and Carnations
• Plant Early Potatoes for cropping in May

Attractive & Informative Greenhouse Displays

Warning:- this may not be the most exciting blog entry you’ve ever read, but it’s useful none the less!

We’ve designed some great new point of sale posters for 2013, to help customers identify the key features of our various greenhouse models and ensure each customer can find the best model and size to suit their needs. As well as highlighting model dimensions and features, details are also provided of particularly useful accessories such as downpipes or louvre windows.

The new point of sale posters are the same width as the greenhouse glass (610mm) so they clip in neatly in front or behind glass panes without any need for adhesive which can mark the glass.  Being encapsulated ensures the posters can also tolerate the changeable British climate!  Coupled with eye catching banners and brochures, we’re helping customers understand the many benefits of Vitavia greenhouses, enabling them to make an informed decision for what can be quite a sizeable purchase.

Helping our expanding network of retailers create attractive and informative greenhouse displays is a priority as we strive to get more and more people growing their own fruit and vegetables and enjoying the Vitavia ‘way of life’.

Vitavia Greenhouse Brochure 2013

Fresh off the press is the Vitavia Greenhouse Brochure 2013.  There are a number of additions to the range and the ever popular core products remain.  There is an excellent fold out growing guide in the brochure too!

New for 2013 we have the Jupiter 9900 and 11500 models in powder coated black.  The black frame was exhibited at the Glee exhibition this year and proved to be very popular with retailers.  It also caught the eye of the Glee judging panel and was declared a finalist in the Shop Window competition.  We have high hopes for the black Jupiter greenhouses in 2013!  We are also launching two new models, Zeus and Helena, and extending the Ida range with three larger wall gardens.

These are exciting times for Vitavia greenhouses, as we enter our fifth year of trading in the UK.  ‘Grow Your Own’ has proved to be more than just a passing trend and Vitavia greenhouses are here, whether you’re just embarking on your growing journey or you’re already an accomplished gardener.  Whichever category you fall into we have a greenhouse to suit your needs! Take a look at the downloadable version of the 2013 brochure or contact us and we’ll be happy to send you a hard copy.

Greenhouse Staging

Every greenhouse benefits from some staging!  In case you don’t know, staging is the name commonly used in the gardening industry to describe the metal or wooden tables, often found in greenhouses, on which gardeners place seed trays etc.

Vitavia manufactures a variety of aluminium staging.  You can choose 1 tier or 2 tier and add a top tier if you like!  The staging is made from aluminium and can be purchased in the standard mill finish or powder green or black.

Measuring 4ft long by 2ft wide, staging is a self-assembly product utilising self-tapping screws and cropped headed nuts and bolts.  The metal slats which form the surface of the staging can be evenly spaced to allow for drainage, which is particularly useful when watering plants in your greenhouse.  Space saving folding staging is also available together with rigid or folding shelves.
