The '''Greenhouse''' is a building present on the farm from the start. It is initially in a state of disrepair, making it unusable. It can be repaired by completing the [[Bundles#Pantry|Pantry Bundles]] for the [[Community Center]] or by purchasing "Greenhouse" from the [[Joja Community Development Form]] for {{price|35000}}. Once repaired, it can be moved by talking to [[Robin]] at the [[Carpenter's Shop]].
The building does not need to be purchased; it's available immediately on the farm. It's not usable until it's repaired, though.
==Basics==
The interior of the building features a 10-row-by-12-column plot of land. There, [[Crops]] can be planted, grown, and harvested at any time of year without reference to normal [[Seasons|season]] restrictions. [[Scarecrow]]s are not required in the greenhouse to prevent crows from eating crops. Crops do need to be watered, even on rainy days. There is a water trough along the north wall, where the [[Watering Cans|Watering Can]] can be refilled. [[Crops]] that regrow will continuously regrow and not die at the end of any season.
There is a wood border one tile thick surrounding the crop rectangle. It is possible to place sprinklers on this border to water any of the tiles of the crop land within its reach.
Between the wood border and the greenhouse walls is a region two tiles thick that is unsuitable for crops, and populated along the walls with decorative items (plants, tools, barrels, water trough). It is possible to plant [[Fruit Trees|fruit trees]] at any spot in this region not occupied by decorations, so long as there are two tiles between fruit trees. Fruit trees cannot be planted in the corners of the Greenhouse. Neither the greenhouse wall nor the wood border itself will impede the growth of the fruit trees, although a one-space separation must be maintained between the tree and any items (like [[Crafting#Sprinklers|sprinklers]]) that are placed on the wood border or exterior region during the time the tree is growing.
===Advanced tips===
[[Category:Locations]]
There are some additional special conditions about the greenhouse that bear mentioning:
* As with scarecrows, because the field is indoors, crops and fruit trees in the greenhouse will never be hit by lightning.
* [[Bee House|Bee houses]] placed inside of the greenhouse produce no honey.
* Giant Crops are unable to grow in the greenhouse.
Multiple harvest crops and fertilizer will never disappear from the greenhouse unless removed by the player, or in the case of fertilized soil as long as the tile does not spend a night unplanted. This is also true on [[Ginger Island]]. A cheap seed such as [[wheat]] or [[parsnip]] can be used in such a case to keep the fertilizer intact.
[[Scarecrow|Scarecrows]] are not required in the greenhouse to prevent crows from eating crops.
Because multiple harvest crops will never disappear at the end of season, this makes it especially profitable to plant [[Ancient Fruit]], [[Strawberry]], [[Blueberry]], or [[Cranberries]] inside the greenhouse. [[Corn]], [[Eggplant]]s, and [[Hot Pepper]]s are also affected by this, as well as trellis crops including [[Green Bean]], [[Hops]], and [[Grape]]. However, these are slightly less profitable and in the case of trellises, it is slightly harder to place them as they cannot be walked over.
[[Bee House|Bee houses]] will not produce honey inside of the greenhouse.
==Watering==
===Sprinklers===
To use [[Crafting#Sprinklers|automated sprinklers]] to water crops, some soil tiles must be sacrificed to place the sprinklers. The growing area is too large for any sprinkler to water the center from any edge. In addition, the 12-by-10 shape of the farmable area cannot be covered only with the square shapes of sprinkler watering.
The many possibilities yield various optimal sprinkler placements that cover the soil tiles while using the fewest possible sprinklers in plantable locations. Some sprinklers are inevitably placed on the wooden border. With [[Iridium Sprinkler|iridium sprinklers]], only 4 crop spaces (~3.3%) must be taken, while with [[Quality Sprinkler|quality sprinklers]], 12 crop spaces (10%) are occupied.

===Retaining Soil===
An alternative to sprinklers is [[Deluxe Retaining Soil]]. It can be used on a crop at any stage of growth, and has a 100% chance of staying watered overnight. It therefore eliminates the need for sprinklers entirely, which frees up crop space. It is also cost-efficient as the fertilizer only has to be crafted once.

==Fruit Trees==
[[Fruit Trees|Fruit trees]] can be grown on any tile in the exterior region of the greenhouse that is unoccupied by decorations, so long as other tiles adjacent to each tree are empty of items the player has placed there. Neither the greenhouse walls nor the wood border around the crop rectangle alone impede fruit tree growth. Fruit Trees cannot be planted in the corners of the Greenhouse. In the greenhouse, fruit trees will always show their summer sprite.
==Sprinkler Arrangement==
It is possible to grow as many as 18 fruit trees inside the greenhouse. One possible optimal placement is shown below.
