It is so much fun building garden shops, and yours is just lovely! And what a steal of a price! Another fine build, Pgal ;D

Now that is really nice! I have some of the garden sets but think using that house as the store base is fantastic. A great win!

Having set up 8 greenhouses without a shop, I agree that they need a building for the shop, and this one works quite well.
My favorite older house is the 3988, which I will try as a garden shop next time it is set up. The suburban house does offer many possibilities because of the extension kits. And this one looks superb as a garden center. Cheers, Pgal

Yeah, one of the things I find about some of the System-X buildings made from 1995-2011 are actually quite versatile when it comes to building shops and boutiques. I also love the 3988 - I've had my eye on one at our local toy store. :)

PMMan:
If it is a new 3988 or in decent condition, you may want to grab it. I have bought 7 in the past  10 months (since I began collecting), and they are getting harder to find each month. Only the first one was new, off craigslist from a nearby home for just 90.USD.

Most of the 3988's have faded walls and some sort of damage....broken this or that or missing this or that. I believe it is one of the finest sets PM ever made, and have put those windows and frames in many other houses because that is my favorite window color combo.

They will make a fine garden center with a roof that is just a bit easier on the eyes than the modern house roof line. Have fun building with them, Pgal
