At present we’re in Brewster, New York, visiting Dede Lifgren’s lovely sunroom. We’ve visited Dede’s out of doors backyard earlier than (An Artist’s Backyard), however here’s what is occurring inside.
A number of years in the past we enclosed a part of our porch to make a sunroom. We overwinter our favourite tropical and tender perennials there and now get to get pleasure from all of them winter lengthy!
Even the goldfish come inside to maintain heat for the winter. The massive aquarium helps so as to add moisture to the room.

A number of inexperienced and solar are particularly welcomed after a couple of months of winter!
Heat sunshine is streaming in from the chilly outdoor.
That is our large, HEAVY jade plant (Crassula ovata, Zones 10–12). It’s a favourite due to its measurement—although generally we want it didn’t develop fairly so effectively!
