I'm moving from sunny warm Florida.....

and going north to Greenville So. Carolina.
I have a bunch of tropical orchids that I don't want to loose. I have never needed a greenhouse before but now I will. I don't have any ideas on how to start, how to heat economically, what size will be needed etc.
How much will this cost? I wont be able to use a PVC and plastic GH due to the neighborhood restrictions.
Any tips on how to get started would be greatly appreciated.

Can you attach a space to your house; Maybe as a sunroom with closing windows? You may not have all the sun you want but if done on the South side of the house you will still get bright light all day.
