Hello Child of God, 
As you well know, You do not need to have a greenhouse to talk to God. He's waiting to hear from you from anywhere, at any time. 
Almighty God established a pattern back when HE created the Garden of Eden. Each evening HE would visit Adam and Eve in the garden. 
This is where Adam was to learn about God and gardening. 
Just as there are many kinds of prayer, there are also many ways to hear from God. 
Spiritual communication is a very difficult subject for me to explain. But the Holy Spirit is well able to teach you how to hear HIS voice and follow HIS guidance. You can encourage the Holy Spirit to guide you by praying and then expecting HIS guidance. 
There is for some of us an encouragement to say or do something that you know is coming from the Lord. Sometimes that communication gets the label, the anointing. 
Another one of those many ways to hear from God is when HE voluntarily checks you in the spirit. 
This is the communication that is an encouragement not to do or say something that you were thinking of or planning to do. Sometimes that communication gets the label, being checked in the spirit. 
I do not know where the term being checked came from, but I know the communication very well. It means do not do it... 
God did not create us as robots, we are free will agents, God allows us and to make our own decisions, and does not dictate to us every move we should make. 
Jesus said that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, HE will teach you. But I do not walk around with my eyes closed expecting the Holy Spirit to tell me when to water my plants. I know my plants need water especially when I see them drying up. But it is also very likely that HE will remind me to water the plants if I totally forget. 
The point being that if a person can learn to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit concerning his garden or greenhouse. Then he can follow the direction of the Holy Spirit on eternal matters. 
For example, I installed a raised bed plot around 40 feet long and 30 inches wide. Since I was on a hill part of the raised bed was over 20 inches deep . 
It takes a lot of soil to fill the raised bed, so I was delighted to hear about all the free cow manure at the local stock yard. You can shovel it yourself or give the driver $15.00 to load your truck with a front end loader. Any source of free animal manure is usually a delight for most any gardener. 
But the Lord checked me on going to get a load of manure for my soil mixture. This is one time that I complied without knowing why the Lord said no. I did not understand why, but I did not disobey HIS guidance this time. One of my many failures to trust God's guidance is being haunted by the question of why HE said no. And just like the school of hard knocks, I have learned that If I ignored His guidance and did it my way, end the result would be utter failure. 
Later I learned that these cattle are usually fattened up with GMO corn, and injected with growth hormones to fatten them up, not long before being taken to market. Then there is also the issue of the herbicides and insecticides that are often sprayed in the cattle's environment. 
LEARNING TO LEARN 
ACKNOWLEDGE FAILURES AND MISTAKES 
ANALYZE AND LEARN FROM SUCCESSES AND FAILURES 
TAKE TO PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTION I.E. 
(TRUST GOD EVEN WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHY) 
The scripture says lean not on your own understanding, but trust in the Lord in all your ways. 
As I said before You can encourage the Holy Spirit to guide you by praying and then expecting HIS guidance. 
And of course you can also discourage the Holy Spirit from giving you guidance, for example. 
Many Farmers in my area use the OLD Farmers Almanac instead of trusting in the Lord. To these farmers it is a bible that they were instructed to follow as children. 
These farmers apply their faith, and choose to believe the alignment of the stars instead Almighty God that created the stars. 
The Old Farmers Almanac is a source of information accumulated from over 200 years of toxic bullshit.
