Greenhouse Gardening on a Hill
Step 1: Analyze Your Soil
What type of earth is predominately around you?
Do you live in more of a swamp wetlands, or high plaines dry desert?
Each landscape and soil will determine what types of plants and herbs can survive or thrive. This is an EXTREMELY CRUCIAL action step you cannot bypass, because the soil is what causes plants to live or die.
Step 2: Determine the Grade
Determining the grade of your hill will help narrow down and exclude the types of structures that can be built on your land. Some structures would simply be unsound to withstand time and weather conditions.
Some examples of greenhouse structures are:
Gothic Arch
A-Frame
And many many others! See resources links at the end of article.

Step 3: Identify Your Budget
Going into ANY type of project it is important to set and know your budget ahead of time! This will help keep you financially stable and make budget-smart decisions.
Step 4: Time Commitment
This is another important step to identify because understanding if you will be living in your home for 20-30 years, or if you plan to sell and move in 5 years, would drastically alter the investment into a greenhouse.
Dream big and make the greenhouse something that expresses YOUR core values!
Step 5: TYPE of Greenhouse Garden
My opinion, this is one of a the coolest steps to plan out! This refers to the INSIDE of the greenhouse.
Do you want a hydroponics garden?
Perhaps a ritualistic moon garden?
Do you want it to have its own air flow, or artificial?
Will you supplement with cow manure?
Final Thoughts…
Whatever you decide, make it YOURS and make it something that will cultivate joy and peace for years to come!
