My husband-to-be and I plan to one day build a greenhouse as an extension onto the back of our yet-to-be-purchased house. Is there anyone in the Ottawa area who has experience with this or can recommend companies that build greenhouses? We'd like it be a real greenhouse with heating, water supply, and in-ground flower beds, not just a sunroom with potted plants in it. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks, tuula
Well, I'm not in Canada but I am in often cold NW Arkansas. We have what is likely the only "tropical rain forest" in this part of the state. Almost all the plants are in the ground and we have the features you asked about. I've written a fairly detailed article on how we accomplished this which you can read here: http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Build your own tropical rainforest.html Our's has been quite successful and is featured in the current issue of Birds and Bloms Magazine (April/May 2007). It was worth every bit of the effort required to build! I hope this helps you out!
