Backyard Greenhouses, and Nurseries, Can become Food and Plant producing Machines:

It's amazing how many doors Greenhouses can open to the average backyard gardener. From producing food year round, to opening a backyard nursery for producing free plants for resale. Fun family projects, Growing Fish, community gardens, so much can happen in a very small space.

The techniques and information found on this site is offered to share some of the innovative ideas that people are accomplishing with the use of a greenhouse.

I started this site after looking for a way to protect my Bonsai Trees in 2007. I was amazed. I quickly became a greenhouse enthusiast, and found the best way, for me, to build a greenhouse.

This site was not-only meant to share all of the best information that I come across with other people, but also as a place that I could visit myself to take action on these projects and ideas myself, which I have.

I hope that you are open to sharing your ideas and greenhouses - be sure to join our newsletter.

With the cost of food increasingly on the rise, and knowing the benefits greenhouse gardening can offer to a Family – food production has become a key focus on our site.

There’s something about the idea of creating a little self-supporting ecosystem in your own backyard. A little ecosystem that centers around you, and one that could potentially sustain your family as well. Greenhouse gardening can be used to create that ecosystem.

Whether you are looking for ideas for a new one, or you are looking to build it, do it yourself, or just looking for project idea you can use to grow in an existing one, we believe you are in the right place and among some pretty good company. We also liked the idea of hearing what it is that you have growing in yours as well.

So what are some of the benefits of Greenhouse Gardening?:

1. Grow a lot, on a little bit of land. There are certain growing techniques that are only achievable in one.
2. Provide your family with highly nutritious inexpensive food.
3. Grow fresh Vegetables all year round.
4. Auqaponics – Fish and Vegetables growing together.
5. A Fun and rewarding Hobby – many interesting family hobbies, and small businesses, are only made possible through one, and a little imagination.
6. And these were only a few of the benefits greenhouses have to offer.
7. In fact we would love you to share your growing story as well.

As a busy guy with a young Family, this is as close to an all around 4 Season Gardening method as I could find. The great Ron Popeil's quote often comes to mind after I leave the greenhouse:, "Set it and Forget it".
