Our Greenhouse - Dreams to Reality

Tag along with us on our dream of a little greenhouse that morphed into a larger size and project than we ever imagined!! Dreams to reality took quite a few months due to the demand for greenhouses that COVID brought. Greenhouse manufacturers once booking out 6-8 months are now booking out up to a year!!

As a side note: We thought it wise to hire a general contractor who had the relationships with the various vendors like concrete, electric, stonework, excavating etc. This particular general contractor had already constructed a few greenhouses here in Wisconsin. All that said my husband Steve played a major role in working with all the vendors to keep things moving and made sure things were being done up to standards. He is very particular and I am very happy about that!!
