English Potting Garden Shed

Greenhouse-Style Garden Shed
This shed does a lot more than just store tools and garden supplies. It also serves as a greenhouse with south-facing glass panels bringing sunlight to a soil bed and potted plants inside. The greenhouse bay, glazed with glass from discarded storm doors, brings design interest to the classic shed proportions. Measuring about 12x14x11 feet tall, the cupola adds approximately 36 inches to the overall height of the shed.
Greenhouses are useful for growing and propagating plants because they both allow sunlight to enter and prevent heat from escaping. The transparent covering of the greenhouse allows visible light to enter unhindered, where it warms the interior as it is absorbed by the material within.
