Alternative Uses for Keder Greenhouses 

Greenhouses have long been associated with the cultivation of plants, providing a controlled environment where greenery can thrive regardless of external weather conditions. However, as the world grows more innovative, so too have the uses of these versatile structures. At Keder Greenhouse, we’ve seen our community push the boundaries of what a greenhouse can be, transforming them into spaces that serve a variety of unique purposes. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most creative and alternative uses for Keder Greenhouses, that go far beyond traditional gardening.

Butterfly Houses – Creating a Fluttering Haven

Imagine walking into a greenhouse filled with the delicate flutter of butterfly wings. Some of our customers have transformed their Keder Greenhouses into stunning butterfly sanctuaries. These structures offer an ideal controlled environment where butterflies can thrive, making them perfect for educational exhibits or simply as a serene retreat to enjoy nature’s beauty up close.

Tropical Animal Habitats – A Slice of the Tropics at Home

For those passionate about exotic animals, a Keder Greenhouse can be converted into a mini tropical habitat. Housing reptiles, amphibians, and even exotic birds, these greenhouses replicate the warm, humid conditions these creatures need. It’s not only a unique use of space but also an educational tool, offering a glimpse into the lives of tropical species right in your back garden.

Art Galleries and Installations – Nature Meets Creativity

Art thrives in inspiring spaces, and what could be more inspiring than a greenhouse? Some have repurposed their Keder Greenhouses into art galleries, where natural light enhances the viewing experience. The lush, green surroundings create a serene and reflective atmosphere that perfectly complements various forms of artwork, from paintings to sculptures.

Spa and Wellness Centres – A Retreat for the Senses

In the quest for tranquillity and wellness, some of our customers have turned their greenhouses into spa-like retreats. Imagine doing yoga, meditation and mindfulness surrounded by greenery or meditating in a space that feels like a natural oasis. The controlled climate, combined with the calming influence of plants, offers an unparalleled environment for relaxation, contemplation and rejuvenation.

Floating Gardens – Combatting Floods with Innovation

In areas prone to flooding, Keder Greenhouses have been installed on floating pontoons, such as the innovative Worcester Community Garden project. This unique application not only combats constant flooding but also provides a sustainable and safe way to grow plants in challenging environments, highlighting the adaptability of our greenhouses.

Unique Dining Experiences – Farm-to-Table in Style

Permanent and Pop-up restaurants have discovered the charm of hosting dining events in a Keder Greenhouse. The immersive green surroundings create an unforgettable dining ambiance, often enhanced by the use of fresh, greenhouse-grown produce in the meals themselves. Whether it’s a private dinner or a special event, a greenhouse dining experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Film and Photography Studios – Nature’s Backdrop

The natural light and exotic plant life within a Keder Greenhouse make it an ideal setting for film and photography projects. The controlled environment allows for year-round shoots, offering a unique backdrop that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere. Whether for a fashion shoot, a film scene, or a creative photo project, the possibilities are endless.

Crafting and Creative Spaces – Where Ideas Flourish

We’ve seen customers turn their Keder greenhouse into spaces for crafting, painting, or even sculpting, where they can work on their projects surrounded by the inspiration of nature. One customer even uses their Keder Greenhouse to make model sheep from real fleece!

Concert Venues – Intimate Performances in Nature

For a truly unique concert experience, some have used their Keder greenhouses as intimate venues for musical performances. The acoustics, combined with the natural beauty of the setting, create an atmosphere that’s both magical and unforgettable. Whether it’s a solo performance or a small ensemble, the greenhouse adds an extra layer of enchantment to the music.

Office Spaces – Work Among the Greenery

In an era where work environments are becoming increasingly innovative, some companies and remote workers have opted to convert Keder Greenhouses into office spaces. The abundant natural light and surrounding greenery can boost productivity and well-being, making work feel less like a chore and more like a pleasure.

Event Venues – A Green Celebration

From weddings to parties, greenhouses offer a distinctive and beautiful setting for special events. The natural ambiance, combined with the customisable space, allows for a wide range of event styles—from rustic and romantic to modern and chic. Your guests will surely remember the unique venue long after the event is over.

Aquaponics and Fish Farming – A Symbiotic Ecosystem

Some Keder Greenhouses have been adapted for aquaponics, where fish and plants coexist in a symbiotic relationship. Fish waste provides essential nutrients for the plants, while the plants help to filter and clean the water for the fish. This sustainable farming method showcases the innovative potential of greenhouses beyond traditional plant cultivation.

Bee Sanctuaries – Protecting Pollinators

In response to the declining bee population, some greenhouses have been converted into bee sanctuaries. These controlled environments provide a safe haven for bees, allowing for the study and support of pollinator health. It’s a small but significant step in helping to protect these vital creatures.

Mushroom Cultivation – A Fungus Among Us

While not as glamorous as other uses, mushroom cultivation in greenhouses is gaining popularity. The controlled environment is perfect for growing various types of fungi, providing a sustainable source of mushrooms for personal use or commercial sale.

Community Projects – Next Week’s Blog

Over the last 34 years we have worked with many community projects and groups, so many in fact that this subject deserves its own blog.  Next week we will discuss the numerous varieties of community projects that have benefitted from utilising the long lasting and safe Keder Greenhouses along with the many other benefits gained from these structures.
