Welcome


In 2013 we decided that we wanted to install a greenhouse in our back yard here in Connecticut and take up gardening as a hobby that we could both enjoy.  We ended up incorporating an Aquaponic system into our greenhouse and hope to be able to garden most of the year.


What we ended up with is a 8' X 12' glass pane greenhouse with a 500 gallon garden pond incorporated into the design.  You will see that the pond extends under the greenhouse so that:
1) Fish have a place to hide
2) Section of water that may not freeze
3) Simple place to pump water from and drain back.

  1. I would love to see more pictures of your greenhouse since the 2015 updates and how it has gone. You have one of the loveliest aquaponics setups I've seen and hope to mimic the design
