I’m setting up a greenhouse for next year and I’d like some ideas on how to set up the inside; I know I want the plants in raised troughs with a soaker hose but I’m not sure how to build it. The greenhouse is 10’x20’, 16” beds along the long walls, 32” bed down the middle starting 4’ from the doors. I’m hoping to leave room under the troughs for storage like pots but I’m very open to suggestions.

Tell me a little about your greenhouse ... what kind of greenhouse?

You might get some idea for building one here:

That middle bed at 32 inches wide is going to be great for reaching everything without stepping in. One thing I'd say is make sure your paths are wide enough to actually get a wheelbarrow through if you ever need to swap out soil or bring in compost. I went too narrow on mine and regretted it within a year. Under-trough storage works well, just keep it open at the front so air circulates and you don't end up with damp problems underneath.
 
My favorite is a chocolate cupcake with white frosting and tiny ad sprinkles.
