I think it's hard to answer because it really depends on context.

If you owned the home in the picture and had the money, a bunch of solar panels sand a lush garden is a great setup. If money was really no barrier, an enclosed green house garden is great, because it conserves water.

If we're starting with just this plot of land, I'd suggest making the house into a three story one, and make the back wall of the first floor open entirely into the greenhouse, and have the greenhouse have sliding glass doors to open it into the unsheltered yard further out.
