I’m mad for a greenhouse, just not for the work. Wish I enjoyed that more! The Roosevelt greenhouse is undergoing renovations and will take most of a year to complete. Looking forward to seeing the progress. But nothing is sweeter than your first two. Thanks for the pingback! Jane

I too love a greenhouse. The first one is my favorite. (Although I wouldnāt want to throw any dirt around in there.) Iām adding another one that would work beautifully attached to a house. (Hopefully mine, someday.)
The Roosevelt estate is phenomenal. I love the kitchenā¦

I love the first one! Hope to have something similar, maybe not two stories though, lol. I’d probably call it a potting shed, but really set the potting supplies up outside and use it as an art studio/ lounge… after I win the lottery š¤
And yes, I used your read from the beginning link, so I’m reading from the beginning!

I am so going to have a greenhouse one day!
I have fallen into the Alice-in-Wonderland hole that is your blog today and the hour I needed to spend making hypertufa pots for the garden club plant sale in 3 weeks has been consumed.
Loved reading all about your house and life! I am currently in a high rise in the DC area, but we spend our summers in the circa 1830 farm in NW New Jersey, where my husband grew up. One day we hope to live there full time. In the meantime, we have had the 1830’s bank barn rebuilt, restored, enlarged, and deer-fenced the vegetable garden, and are working on restoring the perennial gardens. Since my MIL still lives there 9 months of the year, our next big project is to renovate the guest house so that we can have a space to call our own for now.
I love seeing all you have done. You and Joan of For the Love of a House are my heroes!
I’ll be back another day!

PS I have a blog spot, but I am too intimidated to actually post much!

Right before reading your comment, I was scoping out a FREE greenhouse on Craigslist!! Itās GIANT. And two hours away in Delawareā¦ and probably is long gone, given the way free stuff doesnāt lastā¦ but I was excited for about 30 seconds! Iāll be surprised if the guy emails me backā¦
I was bummed you didnāt link your name to your blogā¦ but then, kind of glad since an 1830ās farm would make me cry with envyā¦ I have some kind of old-house fetish. (Clearly you do too.) And itās combined with the dream that at some point I will live somewhere where I cannot see ANY of my neighbors. (Weāll probably have to move to Iowa to afford itā¦)
So nice to āmeetā you!!!!

As someone who refers to seed catalogues as “plant porn” I want each greenhouse you posted above. I don’t have one here, yet.

Where is the second to last one from? It’s looks like a nice project.

I would love to have a conservatory like this !

Victoria, I sent you a message on Facebook about using one your photos here on a blog post about recycled material construction. I hope it’s ok. I gave you credit and linked back to your page here. Please let me know if it’s not ok and I will remove it.
Thanks again š

Until now I hadn’t thought we needed a potting shed/greenhouse. But having just read the post above and seen all those wonderful examples I think we do need one. We are planning on changing the backyard to a more Victorian garden and one of those examples would fit in very well. I’ll add it to our project list.
