- Dang! I voted before I finished reading. Bohemian Garden comes with new harvestables but I don't think it comes with recipes although the fruit and nuts can be used in nectar making.
Edit to add: If you want new plants and recipes I suggest this. - ZombiePary6 years agoSeasoned AcePicked GG as well, the tractor is so much fun.
I like the greenhouse because of the building components. I never use the actual venue. I also really like the swift-grow gardening station (which can be bought separately and is on sale right now). I like a few of the decorative items that come with the venue - the farm fresh flowers, bucket of flowers and the vintage finds, lots of signs. They each add 8 points to the environmental value of a room.
I don't have GG but bought the tractor separately. Although I haven't used it yet I will the next time I play a farm situation.
I think the tractor is good for a farm but a greenhouse is better for a residential lot

or community garden lot/conservatory.

I've also made a small sun room/Florida room attached to a house using the greenhouse windows and the square sunburst skylight that came with Roaring Heights. Couldn't find a picture right now. (If interested I can dig one up.)"Mikezumi;c-17268746" wrote:

The Bohemian Garden comes with 8 new harvestables - fruits and nuts.
Brunch at the Old Mill has corn.
The Humble Harvest Stand comes with the Al Fresco Street Market but can be bought separately and is on sale right now. It has lemon trees and eggplant bush.- suzses6 years agoSeasoned AceI decided to be different. :p I can't imagine my game without the greenhouse or the bistro sets. While I like grandpa's grove, too, it seems I usually don't want to devote space to the tractor. Also love the bakery and bohemian garden, but I seem to be a cooking/gardening fanatic with this game.
- quixotictiger6 years agoNew SpectatorI do like the greenhouse and bistro items, but if I had to choose between the three you listed, I’d pick Grandpa’s Grove. The tractor is fun for hay rides and is useful for when you have a huge garden, and it includes the orange trees.
The mention of the Bohemian Garden set is a good one too because it has so many new harvestables. Not only are they useful in nectar-making, but they are a perfect complement to your new bakery set with all the pies you can make with the baker’s station.
However, IDK if you have the Brunch at the Old Mill set? If not, that would be my preferred pick, because of the canning station. The tea set is also nice, you can fish in the water wheel, and the set also comes with cucumbers and corn.
The canning station is even better (with more options, recipes and fixes) if you use the Canning Station Overhaul mod from MTS. http://modthesims.info/d/580462/canning-station-overhaul-update-aug-2-2016.html

Let me know if I’m missing any others. - This all seems like a tremendous amount of effort and analysis to me for something the OP is just going to keep blowing up anyway... (and I'm pretty sure he's not going to mind me pointing this out). >:) :p

Nope, I don’t mind at all. Well...after all @igazor you do happen to be right after all. Of course detonations usually happen when one of the Frio boys are on site example being when Jared Frio ends up showing up at said venue, makes an utter jerk out of himself so much so that the Watcher gets tired of him and ends up nailing him with a meteor for being a cranial reversion orifice. The other time is when there are recalcitrant sims that do not do what they’re supposed to do.
