V1 [b]A greenhouse is normally characterized by the following:[/b]
o A building largely made up out of framing and glass panels
o A building that has been made economically and with an eye for keeping costs low.
o A building which main purpose is the growing of and the caring for plants
o Often a free-standing building not attached to other types of buildings

This is in contrast with a {{conservatory}}, a building that is often confused with a greenhouse as the main purpose of a conservatory is to be used as a living space / as a space for people.

A few examples for a greenhouse are the following:
o A large building on a farm filled with rows and rows of plants being grown for consumption or sale.
o A small building in a private garden or "allotment garden":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening)] used mainly for the growing of plants.
o A building that is of the same type of either of the two described above but is empty or used for the storage of other objects is still a greenhouse as well.
o A botanical garden can also be called a greenhouse although it often overlaps with a conservatory.
