A SECOND CHANCE TO BUILD A BACKYARD GREENHOUSE!

Extend Michigan’s notoriously short growing season!

 The Allen Neighborhood Center and its Hunter Park Community GardenHouse are sponsoring  Build a Backyard Greenhouse workshops, where neighbors from the Lansing area have the opportunity to get together and BUILD. A skilled instructor will be modeling and guiding participants in the construction of 10’ X 14’ greenhouses.
