The '''Greenhouse''' is a building present on the farm from the outset. However, initially it is in a state of disrepair, making it unusable.

|}The '''Greenhouse''' is a building that can be unlocked on your farm after completing the [[Bundles#Pantry|Pantry]] bundles for the [[Community Center]] or by purchasing for 35,000g from [[Joja Community Development Form|Joja Community Development Projects]]. The greenhouse allows you to grow [[crops]] from any season, as well as [[Fruit Trees|fruit trees]], year-round.
     −
The building does not need to be purchased; it's available immediately on the farm. It's not usable until it's repaired, though.

[[Crops]] grown inside the greenhouse are not subject to season restrictions, allowing you to produce most plants and [[Fruit Trees|fruit trees]], regardless of the time of year.

It features a 12x10 plot for crops and a water trough to refill your watering can.

The interior of the building features a 10-by-12 plot for crops, and a trough to refill your [[watering can]] (though, only the right side of the trough can be used).
    
[[Scarecrow|Scarecrows]] are not required in the greenhouse to prevent crows from eating crops.

Fruit trees can be grown in the tiled area outside of the wooden border that surrounds the soil.

Apparently, only the right side of the water trough works.

==Optimizing Yields==

Fertilizer in the greenhouse will last for one season.
+
Given that the greenhouse permits the production of most crops, regardless of season, the limited growing space it houses is quite valuable and should not be wasted.

===Sprinkler Arrangement===
   −
Fruit trees can also be planted on the tiles of the greenhouse, as seen below. During [[Version History#Version_1.07|update 1.07]] the ability to plant trees on the outside tiles was briefly disabled. It was re-implemented in [[Version History#Version_1.1|update 1.1]].
+
If the player intends to use [[Equipment#Sprinklers|automated sprinklers]] to water their crops, some soil tiles will have to be sacrificed to place the sprinklers. This is due to the fact that the growing area is too large for any sprinkler to water the center from any edge.
   −

+
Fortunately, in the optimal configuration only 4 tiles are lost, leaving 96% of the useful area to be used. This is mostly thanks to the fact that sprinklers can be placed on the wooden railing bordering the farmable area.
   −
==Sprinkler Arrangement==
+
Due to the odd dimensions, there are many different ways to locate sprinklers in the greenhouse. Below are some possible sprinkler arrangements that achieve optimal coverage while limiting the number of squares that are covered. Note that in each case some sprinklers have to be located on the wooden border.

===Fruit Tree Arrangement===
 +
 +
Fruit trees can be grown in the tiled area outside of the wooden border that surrounds the soil. Though there appear to be a number of furniture items (i.e. the planters and barrels scattered around the edge of the building) that would crowd out the trees and stall their growth, in fact these objects are purely decorative and do not affect the trees. Therefore, the only considerations to be made when planting trees are their proximity to one-another, and to any sprinklers that might be placed on the wood border. The trees will stall and refuse to grow if a sprinkler is occupying the 8-tile prohibited zone around the tree before it reaches maturity. As such, it may be necessary to temporarily move sprinklers for one season while the tree grows to its full size.
 +
 +
This in mind, it is possible to grow at least 18 fruit trees inside the greenhouse. One possible optimal configuration is displayed in the image that follows.
