We have heat! Ms. Aaronsson has gotten us the big three elements our greenhouse was missing: electricity, water, and finally heat! I think we can supply the rest to make the greenhouse (or outdoor classroom, as it is originally described) a success.
Now that we shouldn't lose plants to frost any more, we can build a collection of tropical plants for beauty and educational purposes.
Above is one of the Passionflowers that I've brought into the greenhouse from my last trip to Logees. It's an astounding greenhouse nursery that sells thousands of kinds of greenhouse plants in little pots for reasonable prices. I also picked up a banana plant, a coffee tree, and a number of other things that mostly have no common names. (Only botanical Latin names.) We should run a field trip there to get more!
