A greenhouse on an allotment, fully covered in insulating bubble wrap to retain warmth during the winter months. Inside, the space is prepped for protecting cuttings from frost and creating a sheltered environment for early seed sowing in the new growing season.
Greenhouse scrubbed, soil replaced with well-rotted manure, compost and topsoil. Bubble wrap added to insulate and keep cuttings warm. Early seeding starts in January. The 2026 kitchen garden is already in motion. #GreenHeart 💚
