A greenhouse is a building made of glass or plastic that is used to grow plants. The glass or plastic traps heat from the sun, which helps to keep the plants warm. Greenhouses are often used to grow plants that need warm temperatures, such as tomatoes and oranges.
Greenhouses can be found all over the world. They are used by commercial growers to produce fruits and vegetables, and they are also used by hobbyists to grow plants for their own enjoyment.
The farmer grew tomatoes in his greenhouse.
