Cold Frames and Winter Maintenance
Cold Frames are like mini-greenhouses that fit on top of your raised-beds or can be placed directly on the ground, trapping heat from the sun to maintain a warmer environment than outside. During the winter, the temperature inside the Cold Frames can be up to 40 degrees warmer than outside, promoting healthy growth and keeping plants alive, year-round. With cold frame technology, you can extended your growing season into the late fall and early spring, with the potential to harvest year-round.
Cold Frames make growing in our Northern climate less of a challenge. Cold Frames are installed at the beginning of October or the beginning of March, depending on when you get started. Our cold frames come with a heat activated automatic arm that opens and closes the lid, which is critical in the Spring and Fall as temperatures fluctuate, allowing for the highest possible success rate without constant monitoring.
Cold Frames:
- $400 per 4’x4’ raised-bed
- $800 per 4’x8’ raised-bed
*Cold Frames are a one-time investment, and can be used year after year for over-wintering. Green City Growers offers a 2-year warrantee on all Cold Frame repairs and damage for our maintenance clients.
