What do folks do with the greenhouse in very late game?

[Rahnee]

I'm curious what people do with their greenhouses once they're not really needed anymore. I'm a couple years post-perfection in my current save, and I'd like to basically get my farm 'polished' up before I decide to move on to a new one. I'm the farthest in plot-wise, time-wise and money-wise than I've ever been - not trying to max or anything, just enjoying. But, I'm feeling at a bit of a loss with what to do with my greenhouse.

This is its current setup (I didn't even use all the fruit tree space on the edge, sigh). There was originally ancient fruit in there, but all of that is on GI now. What's here is grapes to make raisins for my Junimo hut, corn for tortillas to make lucky lunches, and broccoli, cranberries, and blueberries to harvest and use as green, red, and blue respectively for the prismatic grange quest. Only thing is I'm now overflowing with all of the above so I never come in here anymore (and I didn't really need the green anyway I've got like 5 full stacks of fiber).

I'm looking for a little inspiration. I do want to rejigger the fruit trees, but as for the middle this setup is past it's point of necessity.

I usually fill the mid and late game Greenhouse with:

• Fruit trees around the sides and back
• Pineapples in Garden Pots below the Trees (with a gap so I can shake the Fruit!)
• Front soil row full with 1 each of the reharvestable Crops (Eggplant, Tomatoes, Cranberries, etc.) for cooking
• Rest of soil rows full of Ancient Fruit (still want to process that into Wine/Jelly to fund funthings!)
• Front of Greenhouse usually has a Chest and some machines for this 'n that.

That way I don't need to go alllllll the way over to Ginger to get some moneyfroot and anyway Ginger is slowly being reshaped into a Fruit Tree Forest as I plant all my saplings from SK runs there. The Ginger farm is my Skull Cavern Trophy Room.

Ooo, I rather like the idea of having just one re-harvestable cooking plant per type needed. More variety and less overkill!

Either ignore it if I move away from crops, or use it for collecting items, especially fruit tree fruit.

If you integrate it into your same route for harvesting ginger island (assuming you're also still harvesting that), then it's a free 120 additional tiles that serve the same purpose.

I've also seen some great decoration jobs done with it, the greenhouse is a fairly cozy space, so it tends well to a small garden aesthetic.

all the "easiest" loved items grown there. and it can cover most villagers

grape stalk [Vincent]
hot pepper plant(s) [Shane, Lewis]
strawberries [Maru, Demetrius]
Cacti [Sam, Pam, Linus]
Orange/Peach/Mango/Pomegranate Trees (Gus, Robin, Leo, Elliot)
Sunflowers [Haley]

and so on. Keeping a keen eye for 1 plant that can cover multiple villagers (Pumpkins and Spring Forage are other good options, albeit require another round of seeds unlike the above list) is important.
