Book Description
A tiny greenhouse is a structure that is built on a smaller size with the purpose of creating a controlled environment where plants can flourish. A mini greenhouse is a scaled-down version of a standard greenhouse, making it ideal for indoor or even balcony use. By creating a more controlled atmosphere, a small greenhouse can help plants grow for a longer period of time. Materials such as glass or plastic, which are translucent, are commonly used to construct such buildings. These materials let sunshine in while keeping the heat within. As a result, the greenhouse's interior becomes a microclimate that shields plants from cold, wind, and heavy rain while simultaneously encouraging warmer temperatures. For those who enjoy gardening but don't have a lot of room outside, or who live in urban areas, miniature greenhouses are a great investment. Plants of all kinds, including edible herbs, flowers, and vegetables, can be grown in these versatile containers, which come in a range of styles (including folding and portable ones). In order to control the humidity and temperature, some small greenhouses use ventilation systems. A miniature greenhouse is an excellent option for individuals who are short on space or have unique gardening requirements because it is a small, enclosed room that allows controlled and protected plant growth.

Book Description
With a revolutionary new "Climate Battery" design for near-net-zero heating and cooling By the turn of the nineteenth century, thousands of acres of glass houses surrounded large American cities, becoming a commonplace symbol of the market garden and nursery trades. But the possibilities of the indoor garden to transform our homes and our lives remain largely unrealized. In this groundbreaking book, Jerome Osentowski, one of North America's most accomplished permaculture designers, presents a wholly new approach to a very old horticultural subject. In The Forest Garden Greenhouse, he shows how bringing the forest garden indoors is not only possible, but doable on unlikely terrain and in cold climates, using near-net-zero technology. Different from other books on greenhouse design and management, this book advocates for an indoor agriculture using permaculture design concepts--integration, multi-functions, perennials, and polycultures--that take season extension into new and important territory. Osentowski, director and founder of Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute (CRMPI), farms at 7,200 feet on a steep, rocky hillside in Colorado, incorporating deep, holistic permaculture design with practical common sense. It is at this site, high on a mountaintop, where Osentowski (along with architect and design partner Michael Thompson) has been designing and building revolutionary greenhouses that utilize passive and active solar technology via what they call the "climate battery"--a subterranean air-circulation system that takes the hot, moist, ambient air from the greenhouse during the day, stores it in the soil, and discharges it at night--that can offer tropical and Mediterranean climates at similarly high altitudes and in cold climates (and everywhere else). Osentowski's greenhouse designs, which can range from the backyard homesteader to commercial greenhouses, are completely ecological and use a simple design that traps hot and cold air and regulates it for best possible use. The book is part case study of the amazing greenhouses at CRMPI and part how-to primer for anyone interested in a more integrated model for growing food and medicine in a greenhouse. With detailed design drawings, photos, and profiles of successful greenhouse projects on all scales, this inspirational manual will considerably change the conversation about greenhouse design.
