The Coldsnap Was Our Downfall

Our plants have weathered our longest cold spell in 30 years(!), but our greenhouses couldn't cope. A heavy snowfall turned to rain on Christmas, creating steel-crushing weight. All three greenhouses collapsed.
 
As usual, Vashon Island came to help. Thanks to the kindness of many friends and customers, who brought their hands, tools and even donations, cleaning up the mess was almost fun.
 
Now we are scrambling to replace the buildings, but the cost means it will be one building at a time. The first greenhouse will be ready for our January Green Sale
so customers, salepeople and refreshments can be out of the weather.
 
We can't thank our helpers enough for their generosity and encouraging words. Because our customers were here for us, we will be here for them!
