High Tunnel Greenhouse - In the News

High Tunnel Greenhouse and Hoop House Greenhouse make the news. They are our number 1 choice in greenhouses for many reasons, and it's definitely neat to see the good things that people (not even growers) are using them to accomplish.

These stories are from Schools and people's backyards, people trying to bring an education to children, to have fun and learn to produce their own food and help to sustain their environment.
