Greenhouse Gone

I'm so glad that our two greenhouses have found a good home - our immediate view is so much more picturesque and less congested without them. They were so unsightly in their placement.

 

A very nice couple with a 4 acre property spent 4 days dismantling both greenhouses and hauling the pieces away. We've got to know them over this time, and have really enjoyed their company. They've given us tips and pointers about services in town, libraries, shopping and local activities.

We're going to make this our extended outside BBQ/entertaining area. Though we love the gorgeous array of flowers growing over the supports of the chicken-wire and wood pergola, we aren't fans of the bits that aren't covered with plants. We hope to order a louvre-opening pergola like the one we had in Maine. I'm going to work really hard at keeping as many of these beautiful flower displays intact and will somehow weave them into a solution. I really don't want to dig them up and destroy them.

Granted, it looks ugly without them too, especially this area, which has a retaining wall made of wall radiators! Some work is needed, but we see a lot of potential here. Dale has major design plans in mind.
