Greenhouse Plans
A greenhouse is a house made of glass or plastic where plants are grown; it is also called a hothouse or a glasshouse, which allows as much light as possible and protects the plants from winter and cold winds. One can use the greenhouse for the entire planting process i.e., from sowing the seeds to harvesting the produce.

A basic google search yields about as much information as this book has to offer. the links for detailed plans lead to a defunct website that doesn't exist. This book was basic junk.
