Anything else you'd like to add? Loving our SoTru Farm Greenhouse – Trochu Alberta, Canada. Since building this amazing 26 ft structure in the spring of 2023, our Planta Greenhouse has brought together family, friends, and neighbours in the initial construction and in the summer months – a sharing of harvests. Early in the build, my wife came home with a 24 ft knotted Indian Kilim rug, which we wash off yearly and lay back down for barefoot greenhouse traffic. I would have never thought of using a rug in a greenhouse, but it is a comfortable and hardy signature piece – unique to our greenhouse. We also have scented flowers at each door to support pollinators coming to visit. Lots of activities go on in this space. We’ve had ‘celebrities’ (AKA – David Avocado Wolf) visit and do a podcast on 3000-year-old tobacco, indigenous elders gifted with the same tobacco and used in smudging ceremonies. We host many different retreats on the farm, and many of them begin with a tour of the greenhouse, followed by free-range snacking on cherry tomatoes (noted by many as ‘the best in the world’) before beginning meditation sessions in this beautiful, richly green-scented, lush space. In the mornings, my daughter loves to get up early and bring her sheepskins to sit and play the ukulele or guitar. Yoga friends find space among the roses and grapes to stretch and refresh, and in the early summer mornings, it’s my favourite space to have my morning coffee, listening to the fountain and surrounded by the many 100s of our plant friends.
