Abstract: A garden hot house for growing plants in a protected enhanced environment is made up of a translucent cover, a support frame, a mulch sheet, a temperature regulating system, at least one peg, and a quantity of dense material. The mulch sheet covers the soil surface and acts to retain heat and water within the soil. The frame is placed between mulch sheet and the cover and supports the cover, which is then placed upon the frame and secured to a base by the pegs. This defines a protective chamber. The temperature regulating system is a dark plastic tube of a desired volume filled with water placed within the chamber to moderate fluctuations in temperature. The garden hot house can be vented in a multiplicity of ways to regulate temperature while still remaining structurally stable and provides an enhanced growing environment for plants well into the plant's development.
