During our trip around Brittany, while visiting the Trégor Eco-Center, we discovered a very ingenious folding greenhouse system developed by Hervé Garel. The goal is to cultivate small vegetable plots to avoid large plowed areas and to allow for good crop rotation and direct seeding in the field.
During the summer, workshops on building this folding greenhouse system are offered at the Trégor Eco-Center (in northern Brittany). This system is adaptable to greenhouses of all sizes. Once assembled, the greenhouse unfolds and folds up easily; it takes up little space when folded for storage. We used the time during lockdown to test the construction of a model that we sized to protect our seedlings in early spring. It’s easy to make, and the result is very satisfying.
