A few of the words
- COLDFRAME

- PERLITE
- Perlite is expanded volcanic glass, heated to around 1,650 °F until it pops like popcorn. Mixed into compost, those tiny white beads keep seedling roots airy and free-draining.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About The Greenhouse
A greenhouse is a world of its own, warm, humid air carrying the green scent of compost and damp earth, even on the coldest February morning. Seedlings push up through the mix in neat rows of trays, while cuttings root quietly on the bench beside them. Here, the gardener steals a march on the season, coaxing life along weeks before the soil outside is ready to receive it.
