BIZNOTE: When you’ll be able to see West Seattle Nursery’s new greenhouse building

| Gardening | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

West Seattle Nursery‘s new greenhouse building has been taking shape at California SW/SW Brandon, and now it’s almost ready to be shown off. WSN is starting to move in, and has announced: “The first chance for the general public to see it will be at our annual Holiday Open House on November 19, from 2 – 5 pm. We’re celebrating with good food, fun activities and pictures with Santa.” (Full details here.) Work on WSN’s expansion (designed by LD Arch Design and built by Ventana Construction, both West Seattle-headquartered and both WSB sponsors) started in October of last year; the plan was announced in spring 2014.

Is “for the past xx” an unedited placeholder or a lighthearted way of expressing “who knows how long”?

WSB November 10, 2016 (10:17 pm)

Thanks, fixing.

Looks like fun! I hope to see the chickens, too. Gotta love this from the program:

“Winter Birds talk with Connie Wurm” (I’m sure the birds love her! She’s probably heard all the silly jokes forever)

Oh, indeed she has, Jeannie! She has fun with it, too.

Why are there green snails on the building?

WSB November 11, 2016 (1:11 am)

I believe that’s part of their logo, which I always interpreted as unfurling fern fronds.

Fern fronds. The chickens have retired from public service, and are living in luxury elsewhere. It will be a treat to be able to combine a good cuppa and a snack with plant shopping.

I applaud this structure for its appearance and function!

The logo is representative of fiddleheads/fern fronds/plant life.

Young fern leaves and snails look similar because of a special instance of convergent evolution. When you think about it, it’s a lot like the way that your cat’s eyes look like fish gills.

Chickens used to place fern leaves on the heads of their greatest athletes as an honor. Because snails love the smell of feathers, nature did the rest.

You’re welcome.

And yes, I’m smarter than the rest. Thank you for your brilliance.

I want you to explain EVERYTHING from now on!

Are they keeping the old building?

WSB November 11, 2016 (10:28 am)

This is an expansion, not a replacement. The expansion area did replace an old house (that was offered free to anyone who would move it off the site, but there were no takers, so it was demolished).

stb November 11, 2016 (1:24 pm)

Professor, thanks for the laugh.

Jeannie November 11, 2016 (2:29 pm)

Professor needs to write a book!

AA November 11, 2016 (3:00 pm)

They don’t keep chickens at the nursery anymore, when I asked why I was told that their feet kept getting infected so now they are living elsewhere. Sad to see them go but it is better for them.

Sorry, comment time is over.
