Hi:
It sounds like you are doing the right thing with bringing your mini greenhouse in at night. It will depend on what plant specimens you have if they could be damaged. If you have little seedlings or plugs, they need to be protected. If you have some established plants in pots, as long as they are protected from the actual outside elements, they should be fine.

I germinated thousands of seeds in a greenhouse. The greenhouse had heat, and I kept it around 68 degrees throughout the winter and cooler months.

In spring, I usually recommend to my clients to start bringing their plants outdoors during the day, and if the night time temperature is cooler, bring them back in.

It will all depend on what type of plant specimens you have in your greenhouse. Vegetables, flowers and especially herbs if real young, need warmth to continue their root establishment.

I hope this has helped some. Your garage is a good place to store your greenhouse when the temperatures are cooler. When in doubt, always bring them in to protect them.
