Imagine the sun dipping low over your backyard, bathing your garden in golden light. Your tomatoes are blushing with ripeness. Your basil spills over its pot in fragrant cascades. But the real showstopper? A beautifully crafted cedar greenhouse standing like a timeless garden centerpiece—its rich wood glowing, its glass panels catching light like a prism.
This isn't just about growing plants. It's about creating a garden experience. And summer is the perfect time to level up your outdoor space with a greenhouse that offers both function and visual flair. At Mulberry Greenhouses, we’re proud to carry the elegant and enduring Alton Greenhouses, made from high-quality Western red cedar. If you’re considering a greenhouse this season, here’s why Alton’s cedar greenhouses are the smart—and stunning—investment.
Cedar: The Natural Choice for Long-Term Performance
Cedar is not just another building material—it’s a time-tested, naturally durable wood that’s been used for centuries in garden structures, fences, and outdoor furniture. But what makes it so uniquely perfect for greenhouses?
First, cedar is inherently resistant to decay, fungi, and insect damage. Unlike pressure-treated wood or metal frames that can rust or deteriorate over time, cedar holds up beautifully with minimal maintenance. This gives gardeners a greenhouse structure that doesn’t just look good—it lasts for decades, even in the most unpredictable weather conditions.
Second, cedar provides natural insulation. This is especially important in a greenhouse, where maintaining consistent internal temperatures supports plant health. During the summer months, cedar helps keep internal heat from spiking, and when autumn arrives, it holds warmth better than metal or aluminum frames. That’s year-round performance, with a summer advantage.
Aesthetic Excellence Meets Garden Functionality
Of course, a greenhouse should be practical—but why not choose one that elevates your garden’s aesthetics as well?
The rich hue and grain of Western red cedar offer a timeless, organic beauty that blends seamlessly with any landscape. Whether your garden is a wild pollinator haven or a carefully curated vegetable patch, a cedar greenhouse from Alton adds architectural elegance without overpowering your space.
And it’s not just about looks. Alton’s designs fuse classic craftsmanship with modern greenhouse engineering. You’re not just buying a beautiful frame—you’re getting adjustable roof vents, precision-cut glazing, and robust joinery that stands up to real-world gardening conditions.
