A Greenhouse near the Greenhorn Valley

I finished the article for the Greenhorn Valley View yesterday and promised them I would post more pictures here on the website. These were taken at Leon and Betty Neuenschwander’s greenhouse at Hatchet Ranch this past Sunday.  Leon designed this house and built it with the help of a local contractor, but for those of you who would rather buy a kit, I’ve heard good reports on this Colorado company: http://www.myhobbygreenhouse.com/

Whether you decide to try a small season-extender cold frame, or build a large walk-in greenhouse, there is a solution for everyone who wants to garden earlier in spring, or later in fall, or all year round!

Solar-powered vents allow excess heat to escape.
