How to show current readings for 5-8 temperature sensors?

Configuration Frontend
1

Total HA newbie here. I have a node red dashboard that lists the current readings of several temperature sensors. Now I have HA running, I’d like to replicate the dashboard in HA. The dashboard is pure text and looks like this:
Temperatures
Playhouse 20.8 °C
Greenhouse 1 20.6 °C
Greenhouse 2 20.8 °C
Greenhouse 3 26 °C
Front Garden 18.1 °C
I would like to add this to a dashboard. Maybe I need a Card?
I see there is a Sensor card, but it seems to only handle a single sensor. I see there is a Markdown card, but I’m not sure I could get that to pull in esnsor entity readings. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

There are many options. An entities card with all entities will produce it as a list. glances are a bit more geared towards multiple sensors next to each other, tiles have more flexibility to do either. All three below (too lazy to add 4 tiles). Tiles are the newest, they have more options to change appearance:

That’s great! The Entities card does just what I was looking for. Many thanks for the help.

Here’s an additional idea if you ike the entities display, esp. as you have three Greenhouse sensors 1, 2, and 3:

I like using the custom:multiple-entity-row - you could easily display the 3 Greenhouse sensors in one line instead of my min, max, and now values:

entities:
  - entity: sensor.tesla_pw2_charge
    show_state: false
    state_color: true
    secondary_info: last-updated
    name: Battery
    type: custom:multiple-entity-row
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.tesla_pw2_daily_min_charge
        name: Min
      - entity: sensor.tesla_pw2_daily_max_charge
        name: Max
      - entity: sensor.tesla_pw2_charge
        name: Now
