Greenhouse Cottage

Don Viens has literally built a cottage industry in his own backyard. After constructing a greenhouse for his wife’s floral company from scrap materials, Don created a backyard retreat business.

His fantastic cottages have earned him a reputation for recycling with creativity. “I enjoy using lots of color and playful elements and letting my sheds take shape from the materials I find,” he says.
