5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 18, 2000

By	Michelle Repecka "Mickie" (Celina TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great book with lots of great pictures. Covers all types of greenhouses, materials for building them, pre-fab kits, accessories, watering ideas, air circulation, and more. With all the pics, you can get great ideas about how you want yours to look.

4.0 out of 5 stars An impressive account, August 28, 2000

By	A. Cerqua (Monroe, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As I find true with most of the "Ortho" books, this one is pretty impressive. It is not very big but they have a knack for getting a lot of info into a small amount of real estate. It doesn't tell you everything there is to know about greenhouses and greenhouse growing, but if you are looking for a book to get you started that won't take six months to read (or figure out!), this is the book you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginnings, March 21, 2001

By	Stefanie "sjarrell" (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This was the first book I got in my quest for a greenhouse, and I found it worth twice it's cost. While it is not lengthy, it gives great insite into the home or hobby greenhouse.. from history, to "how to," to purchasing a kit, to what to grow. It's honest and to the point. I've read it cover to cover so as not to miss anything, and found useful information in every chapter! A worthy purchase for those considering the purchase of a home greenhouse.
