Construction Update: Making Way for the Future

In September 2026, demolition began on the Bartlett’s former greenhouse, marking an important milestone in the development of our new Horticulture Complex. We are grateful to Vitti Construction for generously donating their demolition services, helping us take this important first step in making way for the new greenhouse and conservatory, educational pavilion, and outdoor teaching gardens.

With special thanks to our friend, member, donor, and neighbor Pam Wood, who captured this exciting milestone and created this video for us to share, and to her faithful companion, Marley, who was by her side supervising every step of the way.
