MEET THE FOUNDER

Backed by a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Real-Lived Experience

Hi, I’m Carolynne, the founder of Hillside Market.

In 2017, at the age of 25, my husband Eric and I did something rather ambitious. We moved onto ten bare acres in Northern Alberta with our toddler and a $5,000 camper. We had a home to build and a whole lot to learn.

Little by little, we built the spaces you see here. A greenhouse to start seeds and stretch our short growing season. Raised beds to grow food for our family. A potting bench for all the work that had to be done, and an arch because a useful garden can be beautiful, too.

We use these spaces every growing season, so I know how much thought goes into deciding what to build, where to put it, and whether you can do it yourself. That’s why we turned our projects into detailed plans and material lists you can follow, too.

More than 19,000+ DIY guides later, I still love seeing a customer’s finished project. Something that started in our backyard has become part of theirs.

This collection brings four of those projects together so you can spend less time figuring out how to build them and more time making that garden dream of yours a reality. 

we have all been there

Where do I even start? What if I fail? Will I have the support to actually pull this off? Sound familiar?

I get it. We all have to start somewhere, and so did I. I found myself standing in my backyard with a dream that felt completely out of reach. A blank canvas with a thousand possibilities and no idea where to begin.

But here's the thing... it's not impossible. Actually, it's very possible. We built our first greenhouse with no experience and no blueprints, just a dream and the determination to bring the vision to life.

That experience taught me something important: others need now what we needed then. A solid plan.

We weren't the only ones standing in the backyard feeling stuck, priced out of custom built greenhouses, and let down by prefab options that couldn't handle year round weather. So I created the building guides we wished we'd had. Plain English, step-by-step instructions written so anyone can follow them, no experience required.

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!

Do you offer custom guides?
