When in Rome: Cymax Goes Green

Tiberius, one of Rome’s greatest emperors, was not a really well-liked fellow; in fact he was known for being the “gloomiest of men”. No, not a popular guy at all, but Tiberius was smart: he ate his vegetables. On top of his political failures and bad reputation, Tiberius was known for eating a cucumber every day.

If you have ever tried to grow your own vegetables in a plot at the back of your house, you will know how hard it is to produce cucumbers all year round. So, in order for Tiberius to get his daily dose of vegetables, he would’ve had to have paid someone for it. A dealer. A Roman vegetable dealer.

Roman vegetable dealers were probably not as uncommon as you might think. They had the means to produce fruits, vegetables, flowers and other plants year-round in greenhouse-like structures. Greenhouses have been around in some form or another since ancient Roman times, and having survived through and thrived over time since 9th century BC, today’s greenhouse are better than ever. The development and advancement of the greenhouse has been impressive, but the basics remain the same… depend on Mother Nature.

The natural equation: Sun + glass or plastic = successful gardening. It sounds simple, and it can be. At Cymax, you will find the right greenhouse to meet your needs, whether it is for your backyard in the suburbs, your farmhouse acreage, or your business.

Choose a small eight by eight foot greenhouse for smaller gardening projects or a massive sixteen by twenty foot greenhouse conservatory for larger plants and even trees – you will find these, and every size in between, at Cymax.

Greenhouses let in solar radiation and trap the energy produced by this process to heat up the inside of the structure.
