MADE IN VERMONT

Once upon a time a gardener dreamed of a small greenhouse so she could grow her veggies & flowers from seed as well as wintering over tender plants. Years passed and the closest she got was a very nice cold frame that her under gardener built in 2003. But she still yearned for a "real" greenhouse. More time passed and the cold frame worked well for seedlings but got very crowded during the seed starting season.

Then when her mom moved up to Oregon, her mom got a greenhouse. How envious she was of that! Imagine being able to winter over things like citrus and geraniums!
More time passed and another move, and another new garden, built from scratch. The gardener decided that she did deserve a greenhouse after all these years of gardening in Sunset Zone 7 (41 years!). While it is a small one measuring 4' deep by 6' wide and 88" tall sort of a half-sized version of the photo above, it will allow her to store lots of her garden supplies and winter over tall plants in pots.

It's being built in Burlington, Vermont so it will be a good one! Can't wait for spring! 3-5 weeks until delivery!
