Implementation guide: Individual greenhouse in diversified market gardening

The Individual Greenhouse Installation Guide for Diversified Market Gardening is primarily aimed at diversified market garden producers who wish to produce vegetables in the open ground on small areas outside the cold season.

Small greenhouse cultivation is gaining popularity in Quebec. For new growers or those looking to expand their field product offerings, small greenhouse cultivation is ideal, as the cost of acquiring a 279 m² greenhouse is significantly lower than that of a greenhouse complex.

The guide to setting up an individual greenhouse for diversified market gardening offers effective solutions to ensure the success of your project and covers essential elements: the investment budget, the availability of resources (water, energy), the positioning of the greenhouse on the site, the choice of covering, the types of ventilation, heating, irrigation and fertilization systems, not forgetting the construction of the greenhouse and the installation of all the necessary equipment.

This guide will also be of interest to advisors and suppliers called upon to best support producers in achieving their objectives.
