We might be seeing the first signs of spring, but every good gardener knows not to plant the first time the temperature creeps above 75 degrees. Late-season freezes might be the bane of every expert gardener's existence—right up there next to hungry rodents, of course. If you're ready to get your garden started now, though, don't fret: you can start your seeds indoors or, better yet, use a greenhouse.
A greenhouse is a splurge for sure, but if you're a serious gardener then it's totally worth not having your home filled with seeds and dirt. Leave it to Costco to save the day (and our wallets) with their new wooden greenhouse that's super reasonably priced, especially considering all the money it could save you in the long run by not buying fruits and veggies at the farmer's market!
The Yardistry 6.7' x 7.6' Greenhouse is made of double-wall polycarbonate windows and 100% FSC certified outdoor premium lumber to create a long-lasting, durable shelter for your fragile plant babies. It's a great size for any hobby gardener and includes a wrap-around wooden counter along with open shelving and metal trusses, for hanging plants. A heat-sensitive automatic roof vent will open and close based on indoor temperature and humidity levels, and there's a base wall vent for added ventilation, as well. The front door can be full opened or used as a Dutch door for extra ventilation, as well.
While a wooden greenhouse might elicit thoughts of pounding nails into wood for days on end, the Yardistry greenhouse claims to just take 10-12 hours to assemble when two people are present. Pre-stained and cut wood eliminates the prep process (which can take days in and of itself), and pre-drilled holes make assembly a breeze. The kit includes all components needed to build your greenhouse, outside of power tools.
The greenhouse will run you $1,300 online, but we spotted it for just $1,200 in store and you'll need to be a Costco member to buy. If you're not a Costco member, though, don't fret: there are tons of alternatives on Amazon and we'll link the best of the best below.
