Your winter garden or conservatory is a small, tropical or simply a lush green paradise in your own home. This is where gardeners relax when the warm summer months have passed or if the autumn evenings are too cool to sit outdoors. A conservatory is a wonderful place. You can enjoy the pure relaxation amongst the palms and other plants on a cold day with a cup of tea, a good book and a beautiful view of your garden - just perfect!

The plants in your conservatory or winter garden require just as much care as those in your outdoor garden. If you have a large conservatory, you could end up doing a great deal of work carrying your watering can back and forth. A simple way to make your life easier is to install a GARDENA Micro-Drip-System such as the special GARDENA Micro-Drip-System Set for watering terrace plants. Then your wonderful green oasis really will be a place to relax. You can use this set to water up to 30 potted plants. The advantage of this system is that once you have installed it and connected it to a water timer, you'll never have to lug a watering can around again and you don't have to worry about your plants dying of thirst, either.

You should always ensure that there is sufficient moisture and air circulation in your conservatory so that any delicate and frost-sensitive plants from your balcony and terrace that you bring inside for the winter also stay healthy and flourish.

If you like to cook, you can also grow fresh herbs in your winter garden to add a little spice to your meals during the cooler months of the year.
