MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Carolynne.

The Petunia greenhouse started right here in our backyard in Northern Alberta. We wanted a greenhouse to start seeds and stretch our short growing season so that we could grow more food for our family.

There was a lot to figure out along the way. So I put what we learned into the building guides I wished we’d had, with the measurements, materials lists, and step-by-step instructions all together.

Now I get to see people build their own versions in their own backyards. 

That’s still my favourite part.

I am looking forward to seeing your project come to life too!

Still Have a Few Questions?

Find answers to our most frequently asked questions all in one place before you start building!

Do I need experience to build?

Not necessarily! Many of our guides are beginner-friendly, with detailed, step-by-step instructions and real images to guide you. If a project requires more advanced skills, we note that in the description so you can choose the right build for your skill level.

Can I customize a design?

Yes! Many of our customers adjust the dimensions or materials to suit their space and needs. Our guides provide a strong foundation, but you’re free to modify as needed. Just be sure to consider structural integrity when making adjustments.

Where can I buy materials?

Most materials can be found at local hardware stores, lumber yards, or farm supply stores.Our guides list all necessary materials so you can source them before you start building.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the project! Each guide includes an estimated build time based on two people working together. Smaller projects may take a day or two, while larger builds (like greenhouses) may take a weekend or more.

Are the guides digital or printed?

Both! Our guides are beautifully printed publications that are delivered right to your doorstep. We also understand that digital versions can be very handy so with every printed guide, you also receive a digital copy! 

Do you offer refunds or returns?

If you’re not satisfied with the quality or accuracy of your guide, contact us within 30 days of purchase and we’ll issue a full refund.

Do I need special tools?

Most of our builds use common tools found in a standard workshop. If a guide requires specific tools, you’ll see them listed in the instructions so you can plan accordingly.

What If i have questions while building?

We are here to help! With every purchase, you instantly unlock our Hillside Hub. An exclusive community for those building to ask questions, get inspiration, and share every moment. Your not alone, tag me in your question and I am happy to help!
