Our greenhouse was constructed during the lockdowns of 2020. Our inspiration came from the three old doors, which were found discarded on side of the road. Our vision started to unfold and we were able to find other recycled windows for free or for minimal purchase. All of the windows needed new glazing, so I had to learn how. I found easy tutorial videos on KZitem and used Dap Window Gazing, which was easy to use, especially once I had a few completed. I think they turned out great. We layed out each of the four walls like a puzzle, fitting in the different windows wherever they seemed to fit. In 2022, we added a small pergola to the front of the greenhouse; a wisteria was planted to grow up and along the top.
We opted to leave the floor of the greenhouse untended with the exception of some mulch that was added.
Our greenhouse is somewhat shaded by trees from our neighbors yard, but we did not have another good location for it. As such, I've discovered that there are a lot of plants that don't do well, but there are many that thrive. It's been some trial and error over the last few years. Many of the annual plants I've grown from seed have dropped seeds that have germinated on the dirt floor in subsequent years.
Up until 2024, we were at a loss for how to enclose the roof peaks, so they remained open. As a result, we have not been able to keep the birds out. They LOVE the greenhouse and there are several nests in the rafters; they come and go frequently! I've had to capture them on occasion when I'm inside as they get confused on how to get out. We are currently working on closing up the roof peaks; I will include updated videos on how it turns out.
This project was super fun and gave us purpose during the chaos of 2020. I have a passion for gardening and find it so relaxing to spend time tending and caring for my plants. I hope you find some inspiration here! Feel free to message me with any questions.
