Historic Glasshouse and Greenhouse manufacturer Hartley Botanic has launched a new stately, bespoke Glasshouse as part of its Modern Horticulture range. The Opus Grand Botanic, which was set to be unveiled at Chelsea this year, will officially join Hartley Botanic’s unrivalled portfolio of beautiful and elegant structures in May 2020. The Opus Grand Botanic Glasshouse features the same clean lines and concealed engineering which give the Modern Horticulture range its unique contemporary look, but this time with imposing proportions – perfect for modern gardeners looking for Glasshouses large enough for both practical growing and to be used as a lifestyle and living space.
 
Greenhouse ownership is becoming far more diverse, and the image of Greenhouse gardening is changing, ushering in additional, less traditional Greenhouse consumers. This is partly down to a consumer zeitgeist which has made grow your own of the moment but is also being driven by a more design-led approach to gardening in general. An increasing number of Greenhouse owners are seeing the value of displaying their colourful and intricate plants in structures which offer cleaner lines and larger windows and Hartley Botanic’s Modern Horticulture range offers just that.
 
An architectural garden statement that keeps the importance of horticultural design in mind, a Modern Horticulture Glasshouse is a brilliant fusion of contemporary style and concealed engineering, resulting in a more desirable wider glass pane with an aesthetically pleasing, blended linear design which looks and feels like a traditional Victorian timber framed glasshouse. The combination of superior specification, structural strength, elegance and simplicity, with the option of additional appropriate accessories makes the Modern Horticulture Glasshouse a horticultural home from home.
 
Tom Barry, Managing Director of Hartley Botanic said; “The launch of the Opus Grand Botanic Glasshouse, the ‘piece de resistance’ of our Modern Horticulture range is really testimony to the demand we are experiencing for a more contemporary and architectural look amongst our customers. There is definitely a sense that the appreciation homeowners had for design inside their homes is now moving into their gardens too. Their Greenhouses may have a functional purpose, but customers also have a very clear design aesthetic with contemporary and architectural styles more popular than ever.”
