ABSTRACT:
A greenhouse, to be provided in a window opening, includes an enclosed housing having a first operable window pane provided on the outer side of the window opening to allow air into the enclosed housing, and a second operable window pane provided on the inner side of the window opening. The windowsill of the window opening is provided with an elongated groove to serve as a plant box to contain soil to grow plants. A watering device is mounted on the enclosed housing adjacent to the second operable window pane. The watering device includes a receptacle to contain liquid to water the plants, a watering pipe member communicated with the receptacle and extending into the plant box, and a valve to control liquid flow from the receptacle to the pipe member. A surrounding temperature control device is similarly mounted on the enclosed housing adjacent to the second operable window pane. The surrounding temperature control device detects if the immediate surrounding temperature at the plant box is between a maximum desired temperature and a minimum desired temperature. An exhaust fan is actuated to maintain the immediate surrounding temperature below the maximum desired temperature, and a heating fan is actuated to maintain the immediate surrounding temperature above the minimum desired temperature.
