“	Our Greenhouses supply enough fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers to keep all of our passengers healthy and in good spirits for the duration of the journey. Stop in for a tour and you might even get some free samples, fresh off the vine!	”

Gardeners operate the numerous hydroponic Greenhouse Cars and farm several cycles of crops each year. They were a beige jumpsuit. The plants grow on several levels, oriented as a pyramid. Large trees grow from the ground floor. Among the fruits these Greenhouses can produce are:

Berries (14 cycles/year), including grapes, cherries, strawberries
Potatoes (7 cycles/year)
Cocoa (6 cycles/year)
Wheat (4 cycles/year)
Rice (3 cycles/year)
Sugarcane (2 cycles/year)
Cotton (2 cycles/year)
Lettuce, and probably other vegetables
