Bonjour and welcome to the gallery Art of the Home of greenhouse shed ideas. We chose them just for you, hope you enjoy the visit!
A greenhouse shed is a magical place where flowers, crops, and plants are cultivated and grown all year round. How lovely to have out-of-season vegetables or hothouse flowers at the tips of your green thumb! By looking over photos we are sharing here, gardening lovers (just like you and us) can go to the next level by installing a cold frame in the garden or backyard. Beat the chill of spring or the frost of winter by seeding your plants in the confines of a well lit and appropriately ventilated shed. Share your love for plants and bond with the children (or grandchildren) by teaching them the basics of gardening and how to grow their own vegetables and flowers. Imagine their thrill when it’s time to harvest! Get more from your outdoor shed and use it as a garden hideout or a place to get some sunlight in the confines of a controlled environment..just like a botanical-themed sunroom!
Life and light — that is what greenhouses bring to a home, and it doesn’t take much space to have one. For example, a lean-to greenhouse uses an existing wall of your house in its structure and maximizes the use of small spaces. How’s that for being practical and smart! However, if you prefer a stand-alone type, a rectangular shaped shed with a pitched roof -called a span greenhouse- will be entirely at home anywhere in your yard. With its high ceilings, this type will not only provide more space for housing taller plants and gardening equipment but will also get more sunlight all year round. For material, you can use aluminum. It’s lightweight, requires minimal maintenance, and seldom needs repainting. Talk about fuss-free! You can also make use of wood for a rustic look, and even salvage old windows and doors to create a one of a kind garden shed. Get lots of sunshine with glass, lots and lots of glass — double or triple pane depending on the amount of cold or snow. You can also opt for a half stone/half glass installation for a more sturdy look (plus it looks more cottagey that way). Flooring can be anything, choose from concrete, brick, stone pavers, or even pebbles that matches the garden walk. The interior of your shed is equally important and it’s easy to organize and work with lots of shelving units and countertops, plus your prized plants will thank you if you give them some breathing space. You can hang planters from the ceiling, put trellises just outside the walls, surround the shed with landscaping and flowerbeds, arrange potted flowers by the doorsteps (a sliding door is a genius idea), and finish with some stone pavers so you don’t slip and slide during the rainy season. Now that your greenhouse is ready, you and your plants can bask in warmth and sunshine.
So please come with us for a stroll in the garden as we take a look at our gallery of seven beautiful greenhouse shed ideas. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed sharing them with you. Beautiful sunny day to you!!
1. Tudor Green…
The Little Plus: the stacked stone base exterior wall of the aluminum and glass structure. Repotting plants is much more enjoyable in this Tudor style greenhouse that is naturally kept cool and well ventilated by the hinged roof and side vents that allow fresh air to properly circulate throughout. Look closely and notice the finials and the scalloped ridge that add sophistication to this garden house. And the pleasant sight of plump hydrangeas greets you as you enter while potted flowering plants arranged at eye level make sure you get an eyeful of blooms at every turn. Crawling vines climb up the sides, blending in with the surrounding landscapes.
2. Blending in with Nature…
The Little Plus: the wood frame and glass span greenhouse with French doors beautifully surrounded by trees. Ample shelving easily accommodates tools while moving equipment around is easy to do with large French doors that open up to the garden. Irregularly shaped parterres with lush greenery bring life to the yard, and the stone walkway makes for easy access to and from the shed.
3. Let the Sunshine In…
The Little Plus: the potting shed made entirely of aluminum and glass — perfect for cultivating plants in full sunlight but in a controlled environment. The sliding glass door is a smart feature that lets you keep potted flowering plants at your doorstep. A large garden box just outside can be an additional area for vegetable plants to thrive. And the rich hues of the flowers around balance out the green tapestry of colors.
4. Teal Pergola Shed…
The Little Plus: the countertops in this teal and violet pergola shed. As soon as you finish tending to newly re-potted plants, have a seat and read a book or work on a few craft projects on the table like counters. And since lots of trees shade the shed, it is the ideal place for relaxing activities. Raised parterres are home to flourishing plants and flowers and use the same stacked fieldstone edging as the foundation of the shed. All around pebble flooring prevents the growth of weeds and looks so French country!
5. Farmville…
The Little Plus: the shelving inside this aluminum framed all-glass shed — fasteners connect the shelves making it easy to move them around to accommodate more (or less) plants in the shed. Overhead vents ensure that plants receive maximum air and light. And the DIY pillars made from wood and wrought iron hooks can hold hanging baskets of your favorite flowers. Also, the raised gardens house succulent crops from spring to fall ready to fill the dining table with garden-fresh vegetables.
6. Catch Me I’m Falling…
The Little Plus: the rainwater harvesting system — an innovative way to reuse natural rainfall. And with the collected water you have the choice to water the garden manually with a hose or with a watering can…a more economical option. Or how about installing a drip system in the greenhouse that automatically filters the water by removing sediments and waters the plants on a daily basis? More time to enjoy your garden! Also notice the brick stone base wall lending ample support to the glass and aluminum greenhouse shed.
7. Petite Potting Shed…
The Little Plus: the petite glass and wood potting shed. Cute and useful, this structure has many roof and side vents and that allow sunlight to bathe the interior and for the free flow of air around the shed. And notice the 2 unique planters on each side of the greenhouse: one is a utilitarian galvanized steel drum planter and the other a weathered milk jug planter with bunches of currants grown inside the greenhouse. Finally, cement tiles of various shades keep you safe while walking to and from the shed during the rainy (or snow) season.
