It has always been a goal of mine to bring inside some of our herbal plants for the winter to have a fresh supply of herbs at my finger tips.  With fall just around the corner, The Plant Cottage attracted my eye and is just too charming not to share.

The greenhouse’s cabinet is made of pine and measures 25″ L x 12″ W x 40″ H.   Included in the set-up is an energy-saving T-5 fluorescent bulb — to last up to 30,000 hours, and with an extra long power cord.

The Plant Cottage was a recent winner of a 2009 MGA Green Thumb Award which recognizes outstanding new garden products available by mail or online.  “The winning products were selected based on their uniqueness, technological innovation, ability to solve a gardening problem or provide a gardening opportunity, and potential appeal to gardeners.”

I love that it has a rust-resistant metal liner, drawers to keep small gardening tools in or perhaps leftover seed packages and a shelf for watering cans, extra pots or to display gardening books. I agree with the MGA. This is a nifty little product that I would love to have grace our home.

Additional photos of different features of the Plant Cottage may be found at gardeners.com. (Judging by the Cottage’s price tag it must be the Mercedes of greenhouses.) Its cost is $399.00
