THE GREENHOUSE MISSION is nearly complete!
We asked and you responded! More than a year ago the Delhi Historical Society determined it was time to restore its 1930s-era greenhouse. Scores of members and supporters provided donations large and small, from $10 to $10,000. Grants from several foundations as well as the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission made up the rest. The vast majority of the restoration was done by Greenhouse Restoration Services, Inc. of Newport Kentucky. Now, a few more small steps being taken to complete the work.
The all-wood, all-glass Charles Witterstaetter greenhouse is the physical embodiment of Delhi's floriculture heritage. Thanks to our supportive community, it is preserved to share with future generations.
Once all the work is complete, including signs honoring top donors, we will announce an Open House to introduce to the public our restored Witterstaetter Greenhouse.
