The trend for greenhouses is big right now, but you don’t need a large garden to take part. With many smaller versions now on offer, all that’s required is a sunny windowsill or balcony. The extra protection offered by growing under glass means you’ll have more plant options than if you were relying on the British climate alone.

Manufactum’s glass-and-pinewood balcony greenhouse  is easy to assemble and comes with three modular shelves. For something on an even smaller scale, the ‘Grow’ mini greenhouse acts as an incubator for the first stages of a plant’s life. The bottom half of the system holds the plant and soil, while the top has a spout that regulates the moisture and temperature levels inside the pot. Finally, if you’re looking for the perfect herb garden, LED  grow lamps reproduce the optimal light levels required for a vegetable garden to thrive, so that you can grow your own in any corner of your home.
