The Greenhouse

Welcome to The Greenhouse
We built this space as a sanctuary to experience the peace that comes with the beauty and wonder of nature. The Greenhouse is situated in Somerset, Nova Scotia, on the back acre of our private residence. Placed amongst our flower gardens, lovely forest behind, and overlooking grazing horses in their pastures. You’ll only hear the sounds of birds singing and bees buzzing.
