By Bubbles | A few years ago, two fellow Master Gardeners wondered if it was possible to construct a simple greenhouse in three hours. Their goal was to teach four people how to build one. Those four would then each teach four more, and so on. The two recruited me to write the instructions, compile a supply and tool list, and take photos. The first greenhouse was built on the grounds of Zilker Botanical Garden.

Fun to see the pictures of this going up. I don't have a greenhouse and this might be the perfect thing. Thank you for the good clear instructions.  The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart. ~ Helen Keller |

Hi Jeri! 'Good Master Gardener project for your group too! Thanks for reading article! (Hope you send some rain our way soon). Thanks Tee, we didn't expect to have so many people that were interested in building one. The greenhouse can be deconstructed too and put away until the next year. |
