Our new greenhouse - at last!

New greenhouse
Well, as of about a fortnight ago, we are finally in our new greenhouse. When I joined Stewarts in 2002 it was already a plan that we were going to move to a bespoke new building on site, so our existing building could become part of the garden centre. 

Planning, overhead wires, electrical supply and many other niggles have held up the scheme but we are finally in. Though as a couple of the pics below show, there are still a few bits that are a work in progress.

Pictures tell a better story so I've attached a few of the images I've taken during the move. I say "during the move" but I had the good fortune of having a week's annual leave booked for the actual move week, so Michelle, Julie and Sandra get a well-deserved thank you for moving the plants and all our equipment across the car park.

My black and orange office, still not quite there!

We've had a contractor in every day until this week, this was a particularly noisy day that I took this selfie!
It really is a 'show greenhouse'; any of our existing or potential clients are very welcome to come up to Wimborne and have a look round!
