The Greenhouse in *Stardew Valley* is a game-changer for any aspiring farmer aiming to restore their family farm to its former glory. Unlockable by completing Community Center bundles (or the Joja Community Development Form), it offers a solution to seasonal crop limitations. Once unlocked, the Greenhouse allows you to grow any plant, regardless of the season, including lucrative fruit trees—a constant source of gold if left unharvested.
Inside, you'll find space for trees, chests, and equipment like Seed Makers. The main growing area consists of 120 individual planting spaces arranged in 10 rows and 12 columns. However, the total number of plants you can grow depends on your use of sprinklers.

Greenhouse Plant Capacity in Stardew Valley
Without sprinklers, the Greenhouse can hold up to 120 crops plus 18 fruit trees around the perimeter (fruit trees require two tiles of spacing). Sprinklers, however, significantly impact your planting efficiency. They're a great time-saver, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your farm and Pelican Town.
The number of sprinklers needed to cover the entire planting area varies depending on the type and their placement (remember, you can even place them on the wooden border!):
- Quality Sprinklers: 16 (covering 12 inner tiles)
- Iridium Sprinklers: 6 (covering 4 inner tiles)
- Iridium Sprinklers (with Pressure Nozzles): 4 (covering 2 inner tiles)
- Iridium Sprinklers (with Pressure Nozzles): 5 (covering 1 inner tile)
With smart planning and sprinkler usage, your Greenhouse can become a highly profitable addition to your farm, yielding up to 120 crops year-round. Maximize its potential for a significant boost in productivity!
