Greenhouses make the best gift for gardeners and help germinate garden plants purchased online, which is why gardeners often use them during the colder months. There are several benefits to buying greenhouses in the spring—including low prices. A greenhouse kit sale is the best time to stock up on everything you need to nurture your plant babies.
Because gardening exploded during the pandemic, there are tons of greenhouse kit sales to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a place to store those houseplants you bought on the internet or need a new home for herbs, I covered a wide range of budgets and sizes. The best part? Every one of these greenhouse kits is available for at least 30% off—and a few boast savings of up to 46%.
The Best Greenhouse Kit Sales
Garden Dome Three-Pack
Walmart’s greenhouse kit sale section has tons of different types of greenhouses to choose from. If you’re shopping for just a few plants, it’s worth checking out this garden dome three-pack. These plant covers work similarly to a greenhouse—they seal in heat and protect small plants from the elements while they germinate.
The best part? You can snag three of them for only $10 after a discount of 38%.
Growing Rack
Save $36 on one of the best indoor greenhouses when you purchase this growing rack on sale. This no-frills greenhouse provides four sturdy shelves that hold up to 24 pounds each. Lock the wheels in place or remove them for extra stability once you’ve wheeled the rack into place.
A clear PVC cover protects plants from the elements while outside and traps in heat when inside. We love a greenhouse that does double duty.
Walk-In Greenhouse
For those who have several plants that need a home, this walk-in greenhouse—on sale for $20 off—is the next step up from one on wheels. It’s still a portable greenhouse thanks to easy-to-move anchors and a lightweight PVC cover—but 12 strong steel shelves and a durable frame ensure longevity. Stakes help secure this greenhouse to the ground to resist wind, giving it an edge on simple plant covers.
UV-Protected Mini Greenhouse
Even raised flower beds require a little TLC sometimes. This mini greenhouse fits over most standard-sized garden beds and offers protection against the wind, dust and curious animals. It’s affordable and portable, and the included UV-protected cloth cover is waterproof and easily rolls up to increase exposure to air and improve ventilation.
Scoop up a few kits at a savings of 33% before they sell out—and I guarantee they will at this price!
Cold Frame Greenhouse
Put simply, a cold frame greenhouse is a greenhouse without a heat source. This cold frame greenhouse from Wayfair, available at a jaw-dropping discount of 42% off, comes crafted from durable fir wood. Adjustable shelves simplify the process of moving in tall plants, and the roof panels prop open to provide ventilation.
It comes in two colors, so it’s easy to match with your decor if you debut it indoors.
Hobby Greenhouse Tunnel
Plastic greenhouses are perfect for the average DIYer. They’re easy to work with, durable and don’t break as easily as glass during wind or hail. Because of that, this hobby greenhouse tunnel is a solid pick for novice gardeners and handymen. The moderately sized 120’x26.2′ dimensions offer plenty of space for plants, and easy installation has it up and running in no time.
Pick it up at a savings of $162 and start slinging seeds like a professional gardener.

A sliding door and top vent make it easy to ventilate the greenhouse and slip inside to water, feed and relocate your leafy greens.

Need enough space to fit a sizable greenhouse heater? Consider this polycarbonate aluminum greenhouse. A 10-by-10-foot interior, adjustable roof vent, thick polycarbonate panels and aluminum alloy frame make this hot house one tough cookie.

An innovative SmartLock connector system simplifies setup, so you can have it up and running in no time. The split door and vent windows—made from the same tough, crystal-clear SnapGlas as the panels—come preassembled out of the box.
Anchor it to a foundation like concrete for a stable greenhouse that won’t bend or flex in bad weather.
