Garden cottage greenhouse

Owner Connie Featherston overwinters her orchids and raises heirloom vegetable seedlings in this 8- x 10-foot garden shed in Exeter, California.

“I had to put a clock in there because I have so much fun, I literally lose track of time,” she says.

A 'Cecile Brunner' climbing rose arches over the garden shed entry. The shed features a recycled door and windows that let in plenty of light.
