Recycled Greenhouse in Oregon: Salvaged Windows and Cedar Create a Gardener's Dream

Recycled Greenhouse in Oregon: Salvaged Windows and Cedar Create a Gardener's Dream

This charming greenhouse, used for spring/fall cuttings and summer herb drying, was designed and built by Nan and Steve Reid Jr. of Gardener's Dream, a mother-son company specializing in structures from salvaged components.

Recycled windows were caulked, reglazed if needed, and framed between remilled cedar posts. The 5×7-foot base rises to 10 feet, fitted with a recycled French door and dark green trim to complement the house. Greenhouses range from $1,800–$8,000 (this one cost $2,200). Models displayed at Little Red Farm Nursery (Springfield, OR) and Nichols Garden Nursery (Albany, OR).
