Private residence in the Cook Street village area. SunPod Greenhouses consulted and was contracted to produce the Liberty Greenhouse, pavers, fencing, raised beds, stonework, and stainless steel rope as a trellis. The fence is a structure for vertical farming in the small space as well as for privacy. The SS rope is strung behind the greenhouse for climbers to shade and cool the area as well as for privacy from the neighbours parking lot at the back of their home. Western red cedar planters and stone work were integrated into the design to blend in with the existing work. We built up the greenhouse site in the back yard as it was 8 inches deep in water from a recent flood. The existing soil from the Fairfield area was black and looked spectacular for growing. SunPod also integrated a watering system and power for seed starting and cuttings in the greenhouse.
