We are fortunate to have a decent amount of back garden space: 6m x 25m = 150m²:

Note: this image does not do it "justice", at present it is still very much a "building site"!

Our plan has always been to have a Greenhouse where we can grow seedlings of edible plants.

The question we recently asked ourselves is: can we make the Greenhouse a multi-purpose space?

Goal

Our goal is to make a room which has:

• Plenty of natural light ☀️ (both for the plants and people using the room)
• A wide variety of plants 🌻 (both edible and "companion" / decorative; clearly labeled of course!)
• Shelves where we can grow seedlings 🌱
• An expandable table where people can work, have a meeting or workshop. 💻
• Lockable to avoid theft of plants or other greenhouse equipment. 🔐
• Ventilated to ensure it does not over-heat.
  • We will be automating the ventilation at some point in the future. 🤖
