Home greenhouses make excellent additions to any property. Not only do they provide an outlet for your green thumb tendencies, they increase your property value. Home greenhouses come in as many shapes and sizes as the gardeners who own them. Selecting the right greenhouse for your home depends on many factors.

Location. Where you place your greenhouse often has a significant say in what type of greenhouse you purchase. You want to situate your greenhouse conveniently on your property, but you also want to choose a location that allows for optimal sunlight conditions for the plants you will be growing inside.
 
For many gardeners, a lean-to greenhouse is the best option. This provides easy access from living quarters, and uses an existing external wall of your home, which means you must only erect three sides to complete your greenhouse. However a lean-to greenhouse may not receive sufficient sun exposure on some properties. In this case, a freestanding type of greenhouse is required.
 
Portable greenhouses offer the gardener great flexibility. These greenhouses are often lightweight, easy to clean, and inexpensive. They can be moved around the property to suit the changing needs of the gardener during the changing of the seasons and offer a wide range of purchase options.
 
Size. Are you limited on space? If so, you can still enjoy greenhouse gardening! Window greenhouses and indoor greenhouses are available for those who prefer or need to garden indoors. Like other greenhouse varieties, indoor greenhouses are available to fit nearly any space or budget.
 
If you have need of a larger greenhouse, a domed, commercial style greenhouse may be just what you are searching for. A traditional glass greenhouse is also a great option for gardeners with room to spare. This type of greenhouse adds charm, beauty, and value to any property.
 
Budget. Your gardening budget is often the most limiting factor in selecting a home greenhouse. If price were no object, most gardeners would have multiple greenhouses. However, most gardeners are forced to curb their spending habits enough to allow for the purchase of gardening supplies, garden tools, and plants, as well as a new home greenhouse. For the seriously thrifty gardener, a used home greenhouse may be the best option. Otherwise, a portable greenhouse is a good choice for the budget-conscious gardener.
 
Location, size, and budget are the three main factors to consider when selecting a new home greenhouse. If gardening is your passion, there is sure to be a greenhouse that fits your needs.
