A hobby greenhouse can
add a new dimension to the usefulness
and productivity of a
home garden. Tropical plants
can be grown and enjoyed yearround,
or seasonal plants can be
grown to get a head start on
spring. However, the costs of
building a hobby greenhouse
can vary from several hundred
dollars to thousands, and operating
costs can also be high if
year-round heating and cooling
are required.
You may decide to build a
greenhouse or to purchase a
greenhouse kit. Before you decide
whether to build or buy,
examine as many greenhouse
styles and equipment options as
possible. A greenhouse is a
long-term investment that should
provide the growing area and
service desired while blending
well with the home and landscape.
