Woodland Gardens Greenhouse

This SHCS solar greenhouse was being built in 2001 by Tom Riesing of Woodland Gardens School in Durango, Colorado. This is the best example of a well executed kit built greenhouse I've seen.  You can read an excerpt from the Fort Lewis College paper describing a bit about the project here.

Check out Tom and company's permaculture site, it includes links to more recent photos of his greenhouse here.
