Review: Building Your Own Greenhouse

User Review  - Kayleen - Goodreads

This was a very readable, common-sense book. It gave me some ideas and pointers I hadn't thought about. It would help you with ideas for anything from a basic storm-window coldframe to an ornate orangeary. Now I need to find a copy to keep on my shelf.
