Recommendations for a greenhouse for a school site

[Danielle Martinez]

Hi all,

I have a school site that received a grant and would like to purchase a greenhouse. The school is in the desert region of southern California so it is windy, dry and very hot in the summer. Any suggestions appreciated.

Danielle, 

I’m in the Northeast so different conditions but I have 2 schools with greenhouses that I love working in with students.  They are not production greenhouses but are great for education.  I can fit 24 students inside and half of the greenhouse is potting benches and the other half is in-ground beds.  Link below.

Good luck!

Hope
