Channel cottage garden vibes with a mini greenhouse that makes it possible to grow fresh fruit, veggies, and herbs year round. The compact setup helps protect plants from harsh weather and pesky pets, while turning even the smallest patio or backyard into a cozy scene. With a greenhouse, gardeners can better control the temperature, humidity and sunlight exposure to create an ideal growing environment—that tends to mean healthier plants.

Don’t have space for a large greenhouse in your backyard? Costco's mini greenhouse can fit just about anywhere and stay there (it’s 4.92 ft. x 3 ft. x 1.75 ft.). Fill it with planters on a rooftop, deck, or patio garden, or plant directly into the soil in the backyard. Either way, the double-walled polycarbonate panels provide a protected area free of birds, pests, pets, slugs and snails. If you don't plan to garden all year round, it can also be taken apart fairly quickly and stored indoors.

According to the brand, the unit is capable of maintaining sufficiently warm temperatures to support year-round plant growth in most U.S. climates. And even in colder northern regions, it can help you get a head start on the growing season as early as February into October.

But it's not the size or temperature-controlling features customers are loving most—it's the automatic lid opener. When temperatures get too warm inside the unit, the device expands to let out hot air during the day and closes again as temperatures cool off.

You can get it on Costco for $339.99, but you'll need a membership. Luckily, Amazon has a range of more affordable options that are equally as adorable.

Turns out, you don’t need to spend much on a mini greenhouse. This portable pickwith zippered doors and roll-up windows is only $33 and helps shield plants from heavy rain and other harsh weather. Even cheaper for $20, these stackable mini greenhouses are perfect for narrow balconies and patios. The magnetic doors are easy to open for easy watering, but they also provide a waterproof and windproof seal.

A slightly studier option, Outsunny’s raised garden bed comes with a portable greenhouse with polycarbonate walls—they can be used together or seperate. The pointed roof helps prevent rainwater from accumulating and the greenhouse walls can be opened for ventilation.
