Whether your goal is to stretch the growing season or create a lush space full of greenery for a year-round hot tub, a greenhouse can add to your property value as well as enjoyment.

The final chapter includes nine building plans, from a simple season-extending cold frame and a basic freestanding greenhouse to a more elaborate greenhouse/garden shed combination.
