We learned a lot from our first year with a greenhouse—what worked well and what we could improve. (see pics below)
We are very blessed to live close to the best organic farm in Michigan, Bear Creek Organic Farm, where we purchase starter plants, that we didn't begin from seed. We are members, so we receive a discount as well as very informative weekly emails. They also have a fabulous market and farm to table food truck. Check them out when you're in Petoskey.

We purchased a pergola from Wayfair, and repainted the table and chairs for a usable outdoor dining space sheltered from the sun.
