Hanna fell in love with Montana, nature, gardening and cordwood. She built a gorgeous cordwood greenhouse/shed and filled it with plants and gardening tools. Then she planted a beautiful garden of flowers and vegetables around the shed. Finally, she added a deer fence to protect the lovely produce and beautiful plants.
During construction, she repurposed windows for maximum light. A few stained-glass windows add a nice touch to the natural “feel” of the shed. Hanna wrote a blog about her shed and shared it with the website I helped moderate at www.daycreek.com We are hoping she will update her blog and let us know how things are progressing.
