Sustainable Greenhouse Design
5 sessions available ranging from $50.00 to $52.00

You can apply this method to pre-existing greenhouses, attached or single units. Water is the most efficient thermal mass but there are many other options as well – learn how to use them while recycling all kinds of materials. The Parmenter’s built their greenhouse out of 90% recycled materials and it sits on top of a decomposed granite mountain at 8,120 ft. This technique works at any altitude. Fresh, organic food year round in Colorado is a sure thing – we have more than enough sun. There’s always something to...
