Make the decisions before the boxes arrive.
A greenhouse kit gives you a structure to assemble. A successful project also needs a plan for the site, the work, and the way you want to grow. This guide helps gardeners think through those decisions with practical advice drawn from Bruce Goode's greenhouse business experience.
Is this guide for you?
It is intended for gardeners considering their first greenhouse kit, homeowners comparing a few possible models, and growers who want to make better use of a backyard greenhouse.
Questions to bring to your project
- What will you grow, and during which seasons?
- How will the size and layout fit your daily work?
- What does your chosen site need before assembly?
- Which equipment and ongoing costs belong in the plan?
