Complete the growing journey with Vitavia

 

When customers walk into a garden centre, they’re looking for inspiration as much as they are for products. They come for seeds, soil, tools, pots, and plants, but too often, their journey stops short of the one product that can transform their growing experience: a greenhouse. 

 

By stocking greenhouses, garden centres can complete that journey and unlock a new stream of profitable, year-round sales.

 

Growing outside leaves crops at the mercy of unpredictable British weather. A greenhouse, however, creates its own microclimate, extending the growing season well beyond what’s possible outdoors. For the gardener, this means more success and more satisfaction. For the garden centre, it means customers return for longer, buying more products across more months of the year. It’s a clear win-win.

 

Vitavia is a family-run company based in Suffolk, the British partner of the Vitavia Group, Europe’s leading name in quality hobby greenhouses and accessories. Known for their value for money and exceptional service, Vitavia greenhouses are widely regarded as the most reliable choice for gardeners across the UK. 

Vitavia is also the exclusive UK distributor for Janssens, the Belgium brand celebrated for its stylish, high-end greenhouses and garden rooms. Together, the two ranges cover every customer, from the first-time hobby grower to the designconscious enthusiast.

 

A common misconception is that greenhouses take up too much floor space in a garden centre. In reality, displaying just three models – 6x4, 6x8, and 8x10 creates an attractive showcase while driving high-value sales. Greenhouses also double as excellent display spaces for plants, pots, and accessories, further boosting their value in-store.

 

For garden centres looking to extend sales seasons, increase margins, and strengthen customer loyalty, stocking Vitavia and Janssens greenhouses is an investment that grows.
