Mini Greenhouse from Old Storm Windows

You can have a greenhouse ANYWHERE! This greenhouse will even fit on a balcony. It's built with scrap lumber and 3 same sized storm windows. Repurpose and reuse!

    Loving this idea- I was just thinking, it could be done with metal windows also- It would not be as pretty as this- but it would serve the same purpose- Loving the pallet for a base that would make it easy to level it in a yard too! Thank you for the endless ideas!

    Just wondering what to do with the rest of the metal-framed windows I look to repurpose. Needing a greenhouse and think I will fabricate a way to shape these items around the potting bench that hubby built. Also have a slider that is lying outside. Thanks for the ideas!

    My Grandfather built a walkway from the back door to his shop in the back yard all out of old windows and it was my Grandmothers green house...she just opened the windows to let air in if it got to hot in there...And Grandpa could walk to his shop without getting rained on or it be to cold for him....it was a win win but sure wish I had all those windows now to build me one :)
