Hartley Botanic even offers a lifetime guarantee.

A reputation beyond compare. Hartley Botanic has earned a unique reputation and trust for crafting the finest Glasshouses and Greenhouses money can buy through hard-won experience, craftsmanship, and service.
Unrivaled knowledge and expertise. Hartley Botanic creates Glasshouses of distinction from decades of knowledge and care. A wealth of expertise is built into every Glasshouse.
Exceptional delivery of service. Once your Glasshouse has been handmade to your personal requirements and to Hartley Botanic’s exacting standards, delivery and installation will be exceptional, and the company’s proud team will ensure the process runs smoothly.
The Heritage Vista • Colorado
Hartley Botanic’s Greenhouses and Glasshouses are all made to order, and they range from small patio models to imposing Glasshouses. Designs are available from three product ranges (Victorian, Heritage, and Modern), or customers can create a totally bespoke design, with all models available in a variety of colors and sizes, along with options for “glass to ground” installation, freestanding or lean-to, and internal glazed partitions.
