Considering converting garage into a greenhouse. Need tips.

[Paul Mc]

I am thinking about taking our garage and removing 1 side and the roof to create a greenhouse. It would not just be for my orchids as I have about 80 potted tropical plants excluding my 25 orchids. I must say though, if we do convert the garage to a greenhouse I will probably invest in many more orchids, lol...

I don't know that much about outdoor greenhouses, so I am wondering where a good place would be to learn about proper construction and considerations. For example, websites, books, buying a kit to see what they say.

I know some of the considerations woud be insulating the unremoved walls with siding, humidity, water source (as the garage does not have any water lines), temperature, air flow and ventilation

Any guidance to an appropriate research source would be greatly appreciated.
