I am starting a nonprofit organization with the goal of assisting
older/handicapped people find a bit more life. The first program will be to
design, build, and deliver cold frames (small box with glass top placed
against the South side of a home with plants growing inside) so they can
grow small plants for decoration or for starting seeds in late winter for
summer use. While the boxes are fairly simple, I would like to take
advantage of any experience available here. What has worked well, and not so
well? Thanks.

Don't use glass. Use coated plastic.
Mind your latitude and tilt the whole toward the sun rather than flat on the
ground. Keep the inside light and reflective.
