Greenhouses Reinvented: Meet Joshua and Audrey Cook of 46 North Landscaping & Design

46 North Landscaping in Fargo is on a mission to create landscapes that are unique in form, complete in function, and rich in plant material. Fast forward from his childhood playing with Tonka toys in his grandfather’s pile of dirt to today, owner Joshua Cook has over 20 years experience in the construction and landscaping industry landscaped. With paver patio and plant installation taking up most of the summer season, Joshua and his wife Audrey are thrilled to be the first contractor in the Midwest to provide permanent residential greenhouses.

While residential greenhouses have been popular in Europe for years, the concept has only recently caught on in the United States. Modern technology has made these permanent structures more versatile, more affordable, and incredibly strong. Inside an unheated greenhouse, you can enjoy an early spring planting four weeks earlier and extend fall growth four weeks longer simply by natural heat from the sun.

Improve quality of life

When it feels like the walls of winter are closing in, having a heated greenhouse provides an escape to nature. Even on the coldest days, produce can easily grow in a heated greenhouse. Just run your hand over the herbs in the garden and the earthy smell of damp soil fills the space with the scent of summer. Even for non-plant growers, feeling that boost of greenhouse sunlight on the skin is a mood booster.

46 North offers two main styles: Victorian and Riga greenhouses. The Victorian is a classic European style with elegant full-length glazing panels. The Riga is a rugged “onion” shape designed to withstand extreme wind and snow loads. Both styles feature tougher, stronger panels and substantial aluminum frames that beat any competition in this price range. By selecting optional accessories like shelves, hooks, seed trays and automatic window openers, homeowners can customize their greenhouse to meet their needs.

Pro tip:

Generally, a greenhouse falls into the same permit category as a shed. If you have room for a shed, you have room for a greenhouse. A sunny location is ideal. Greenhouses can be set up on bare ground, gravel, cement or a patio. 46 North offers professional assembly as well as free consultations to meet your specific needs.
