15 Greenhouse Ideas To Complete Your Dream Garden
Plant parents, rejoice.
If you've got a green thumb, welcome, you've found your people! And if there's one thing all of us plant parents have in common, it's an obsession with greenhouse ideas. Greenhouses are buildings (big or small) that protect a number of plants from the elements, whether it's the blazing sun or the stark cold of winter. With controlled air and protection from critters, greenhouses are a must for devoted gardeners. They also look ultra charming in your yard.
Design-wise, your greenhouse can be practically any style you want. Looking for a boho vibe? Easy. What about a classic English garden take? You can do that too. There are simple greenhouse ideas made with lumber and plastic sheeting for practical gardeners. As home design experts, we're partial to decorative greenhouses that can double as a tiny house or she shed—even a catio. There are greenhouse styles to suit every kind of space, from large and luxurious yards to small-space gardens.
What's growing inside your greenhouse matters too, naturally. We adore planting some of our favorite farm-to-table produce in a greenhouse such as tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, eggplant, spinach, basil, and more to extend the growing season. A greenhouse is an ideal home for plants that deer and rabbits love to eat because they have year-round protection inside. It's also great for delicate flowers that have specific humidity needs, like orchids.
Whether you aspire to build your own greenhouse or already have one you want to spruce up, we're here to help. We've pulled some of our top greenhouse design ideas to help make your space feel unique. Not sure where to store your seedlings? We've got you covered! Is lighting an issue?
