These Charming Backyard Greenhouses Are The Ultimate Dream

I have a “thing” for greenhouses. Honestly, there’s just something kind of dreamy about having a little space dedicated just for growing whatever your heart desires. Maybe it’s my yearning for a simple life, but a greenhouse is something at the top of my wish list, even though I don’t currently have the land or space for it.

One of the best things about owning a greenhouse is that you can use it for a variety of things. You can grow fresh organic vegetables, flowers, bulb plants, house plants, exotic plants, and all types of seedlings. You can change what you grow in it every year or grow a mix of things. You can grow different plants at the same time if you choose to. You have the freedom to choose what you want to use your greenhouse for.

These lucky green thumbs are living the dream with their own delightful greenhouses in a variety of styles and sizes.

The creator of this darling greenhouse also shared his plans for how you can recreate your own. He uses his as a potting shed, but it could easily be used to grow your garden as well.
