Greenhouse is American guitarist Leo Kottke's fifth album, his second on the Capitol label, released in 1973. It was recorded in three days. From the liner notes: "In the sense that my guitars were once plants, this record's a greenhouse. There are seven instrumentals and four vocals." It reached #127 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.
