10 Creative Ways Yoderbilt Customers Are Using Their Greenhouses
When most people think about owning a greenhouse, they imagine trays of seedlings, rows of herbs, and the satisfaction of growing their own food. But for many Yoderbilt Greenhouse owners, the possibilities have gone far beyond traditional gardening.
Thanks to thoughtful design, handcrafted charm, and unmatched durability, our greenhouses are more than just functional—they’re beautiful, versatile backyard spaces that have become central to how our customers live, gather, and grow.
In this post, we’re highlighting real-life, creative ways our customers have used their Yoderbilt Greenhouses—from dinner parties to photography studios—and how you might do the same.
1. Host Intimate Dinners or Garden Parties
With twinkle lights overhead, soft music, and fresh florals from the surrounding garden, many Yoderbilt customers have transformed their greenhouses into charming dinner party venues.
- Think: farmhouse table, vintage dishes, charcuterie boards, and a warm glow through the polycarbonate walls.
- Perfect for: birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers, or “just because” dinners with friends.
Some customers host seasonal supper clubs in their greenhouses, giving guests an unforgettable experience rooted in slow living and beautiful surroundings.
2. Rent It Out as a Photography Studio
Thanks to their soft, diffused natural light, Yoderbilt Greenhouses have become go-to backdrops for professional photographers.
- Family sessions
- Senior portraits
- Maternity or engagement shoots
- Styled seasonal mini sessions
Some owners have even turned their greenhouse into a side hustle, renting it out by the hour or per day to photographers in their community. Others use the space to launch their own photography business.
3. Create a Personal Wellness or Yoga Retreat
With plants surrounding you, natural light filtering in, and quiet all around, a greenhouse makes a surprisingly ideal space for:
- Morning yoga or stretching
- Meditation and journaling
- Breathwork and devotional time
Several Yoderbilt owners have added a comfy chair, a small table, and a cozy rug to create a peaceful daily retreat—one that feels far from the chaos of everyday life, even just steps away from home.
4. Use as a Creative Studio or Workspace
Your greenhouse doesn’t have to be just for gardening—it can be a haven for creativity.
- Paint with inspiration from nature
- Arrange flowers for your floral business
- Make candles, soaps, or handmade goods
- Write, blog, or design in a plant-filled setting
The bright, airy vibe makes it a space where creativity flows.
5. Launch a Small Garden-Based Business
Your greenhouse can be the heart of a profitable side business. Yoderbilt customers have used theirs for:

- Offering greenhouse tours and experiences
One customer began hosting “Plant & Sip” nights, inviting guests to pot up herbs and sip wine—a fun, low-stress event that grew her customer base and brought in meaningful income.
6. Pair With a Coop for a Full Backyard Homestead
If you’ve added (or are dreaming of adding) a Yoderbilt Chicken Coop, pairing it with your greenhouse creates a beautifully functional homestead hub.
- Chickens provide compostable bedding and natural fertilizer
- The greenhouse extends your growing season
- Together, they promote a more sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle
Some customers have even added a compost bin and rain barrel system nearby for the full regenerative setup.
7. Throw Seasonal Celebrations or Holiday Events
Your greenhouse can become a magical gathering space for:
- Fall harvest parties
- Christmas greenhouse dinners
- Spring baby showers or Easter brunch
- New Year’s Eve under the stars
Decorate with candles, garlands, and greenery for events that feel elevated yet deeply personal. One customer even hosted a winter engagement party in their greenhouse, complete with heaters, cocoa, and string lights.
