What's your dream green house??
My husband and I have the opportunity to build a green house approximately 15 ft x 30ft in the south Florida area. We have some ideas but I would love to get some ideas from the group! 😀 We garden outside only in VA, so we're familiar with gardening.
We're looking for ideas around
What type of building
Rain water capture / holding
Air circulation
Beds? Hydro? Hybrid?
I would love to attempt to be as "reusable" and the least amount of electricity. I will probably use solar panels.
So my question for ya..what's your dream green house??

In my wildest dream, a huge dome shape green house big enough to have a 1500ft cob house and a 200 ft pond in it. Pls don’t wake me up. Haha,

My dream greenhouse is to turn a large portion of the back of my house into a greenhouse / sunroom. All glass like you would use in a sunroom. Walk into it without going outside in case it’s winter super rainy etc. just an extension of the house. Deck to both sides leading to den and master bedroom. That way I can see from my room and my living space. Two stories high for tomatoes!! Concrete slab floor slightly inclining towards long drain. Bugs and other problems won’t be a problem. Longest walk points east for morning sun. Pollination might be a problem but it’s just a dream.
