ENABLE LOCAL PROPAGATION
The Greenhouse was conceived and designed by Sarah Price who was inspired by the building’s history, in particular the work of the old library’s second librarian Florence Barton Young who initiated a Travelling Library Van service.
Detailed structural design was delivered by Bura Happold; the greenhouse was built by Surrey Iron Works and installed by Mark Whyman Landscapes.
The Greenhouse requires further work to make it fully functional, and so we are asking for The Greenhouse Patron to provide the funds to finish this work enabling a community propagation programme.
Support for the Greenhouse project is valued at £5k, and would include:
installation of final waterproofing and insulation
installation of retractable shade giving blinds
installation of suitable shelving, storage and a potting bench
equipment & materials purchase to enable a propagation programme
