A DIY Greenhouse

Building a Greenhouse from the Ground Up

I said I wouldn’t do the ORC again in the Fall — and yet here we are! It’s the 2021 Fall One Room Challenge, and I’m jumping in with both feet! What’s the One Room Challenge? In 2011 Linda Weinstein of calling it home set out with the goal of finishing ONE ROOM in her home. She gathered a group of friends with the same goal, and thus the One Room Challenge was born. The One Room Challenge happens twice per year — Spring and Fall — and participants usually have six weeks to transform one room.

For this round we are racing the snow because we are building a whole greenhouse from the foundation up. I love gardening, but the growing season here in Colorado is really, really short — and very unpredictable. So last winter we decided to build a greenhouse — and here we are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping we will get it done before it freezes. Fingers crossed!

During this round, the One Room Challenge runs for eight weeks (September 30 - November 21). Each Thursday I’ll be posting the latest update on our Greenhouse including plans for projects you can try at home and my favorite shopping sources. In the end, I will post a budget, too, so you will know exactly what we spent and how we used our resources. Since we love DIY, there are a bunch of projects to show you along the way!
