Because green houses lets you control the growing environment and therefore enables you to grow whatever type of plant you want.
We’ve all seen plants that we would love to be able to grow, only to think that our natural growing environment just wouldn’t support that type of plant or flower, our Green houses Will.
Some plants need more sun; some less. Some plants need

a moist growing environment; some need a dry one. With a green houses of your very own, you have the ability to master the growth of any plant you wish to see in your own yard.
One of the main reasons why people place greenhouses on their property is so that they can
extend their growing seasons.Utilizing the strengths of a quality greenhouse kit, you can begin growing your favorite plants early in the spring, and oftentimes grow well into the fall months.
A greenhouse can actually allow the budding gardener to benefit all year long and feel like spring is in full bloom even in December.

A greenhouse (also called a glasshouse) is a building in which plants are grown. These structures range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings. A miniature greenhouse is known as a cold frame.
A greenhouse is a structural building with different types of covering materials, such as a glass or plastic roof and frequently glass or plastic walls; it heats up because incoming visible solar radiation (for which the glass is transparent) from the sun is absorbed by plants, soil, and other things inside the building. Air warmed by the heat from hot interior surfaces is retained in the building by the roof and wall. In addition, the warmed structures and plants inside the greenhouse re-radiate some of their thermal energy in the infrared spectrum, to which glass is partly opaque, so some of this energy is also trapped inside the glasshouse. However, this latter process is a minor player compared with the former (convective) process. Thus, the primary heating mechanism of a greenhouse is convection. This can be demonstrated by opening a small window near the roof of a greenhouse: the temperature drops considerably. This principle is the basis of the autovent automatic cooling system. Thus, the glass used for a greenhouse works as a barrier to air flow, and its effect is to trap energy within the greenhouse. The air that is warmed near the ground is prevented from rising indefinitely and flowing away.
Although heat loss due to thermal conduction through the glass and other building materials occurs, net energy (and therefore temperature) increases inside the greenhouse.

Types
Greenhouses can be divided into glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses. Plastics mostly used are polyethylene film and multiwall sheets of polycarbonate material, or PMMA acrylic glass. Commercial glass greenhouses are often high-tech production facilities for vegetables or flowers. The glass greenhouses are filled with equipment such as screening installations, heating, cooling and lighting, and may be automatically controlled by a computer.
