Your passive solar greenhouse can mimic, and grow plants from a variety of climate zones, IF you design it to. You can grow food from a mediterranean climate, even in a cold climate! Learn how in this series of 3 videos!
In part 1 of this 3 part series on how to design your passive, this video Rob Avis describes how to choose what type of plants you are going to grow inside of the greenhouse and how that will affect the design of walls, glazing, foundation and how to go about heating the greenhouse. Passive solar greenhouses can be used to grow an Okanagan, mediterranean, subtropical, tropical climate mimic. Choosing what climate you want to mimic is critical to the design of a successful passive solar greenhouse.

Didn’t know climate change still was in debate
Great video! This presentation was great to share with family and friends.
Absolutely awesome Rob! Can't wait for the next 2 installments.
Although I live in a much warmer climate (we get 5 frost free months) I really value the opportunity to learn from those of you in much colder areas. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
