Hello all,

I've been gardening for a while but I'm new to greenhouses. I'd like to buy a small greenhouse, roughly 8 by 12 feet. It's mostly for starting seedlings in the spring but I will grow some vegetables in it too. I'm in Michigan.

Is there a decent and durable greenhouse I can find for 1K-1,5K? Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you!
Marcin

I'd start with a google search for greenhouse vendors. Most have information pages that provide information on things like foundations, heat retention, site selection, etc. A budget of $1500 will limit your choices. Some greenhouses can be pretty expensive. Also, consider if you are handy enough to assemble a kit. I have a Solexx greenhouse and am very happy with it. But the panels do not allow viewing in or out of the greenhouse. If that is important to you a different model would be better. A little planning up front will result in a more satisfied purchase. Good luck!

A hoophouse will fit your budget, but I don't know if it will fit your other needs.

Thank you. I may go with a hoophouse after all.
