FOLLOWUP: West Seattle Nursery’s greenhouse now growing

greenhouse-frame-from-sidewalk

Another milestone in West Seattle Nursery‘s expansion project – as you might have noticed if you have gone by along California SW, the greenhouse is now going up. WSN’s Marie McKinsey sent the photo and tells WSB, “The office building is pretty much complete and now the greenhouse is being built. We hope to see the carbonite ‘glass’ panels added within the next couple of weeks.” Ventana Construction is building the expansion, and the architect LD Arch Design (both are WSB sponsors). As reported here last year, the expansion on the existing nursery’s north side is also expected to include a new classroom, gift/house-plant shop, and coffee bar.

    “We hope to see the carbonite ‘glass’ panels added within the next couple of weeks.”

    Carbonite? Isn’t that the stuff Darth Vader used to freeze Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back? I think you mean polycarbonate.

    The death Star will be quite operational.

    Ha ha, you’re right – polycarbonate.

    Cool. Probably this sort of multi-cell plastic panels (more energy efficient and lightweight than glass or plexi). I’ve been thinking about fixing/replacing a garage door window with the stuff.
