Meeting Notes:
Participants: Jeff, Jerome, Lisa
Summary of Discussion:
Greenhouse Model:
Walked through model of greenhouse interior. All agreed looks and feels good in terms of aesthetics and function. Notes that interior wall would be all stone with nooks for orchids or small containers. The windows will also all be metal. This will provide longevity as wood will bow and react to the moisture. We also discussed adding planting racks along north wall and up the wall to the east of the window above planting area. adding space to store seedlings. On the mezzanine we would add built in shelves with a outdoor fabric curtain to allow storage and a neat appearance.
The seedling trays are 12"x21" and shelving can be attached to the wall. The aqua culture area was extended allowing for more visibility and ease of use. There will be room for a plant nook on the east side. here is a great microclimate for more moist tropicals and the same shelf orchid option. we also discussed making room near the venting on the far NE corner to be planted as well. These bed could be accessible with planks and we can design a rack system for items like water chestnut and water cress.
Garden Mentors:
We discussed the important of having garden mentor. Jerome could host a 3 day training on the climate battery and plant stacking and timing. We can look at the community and see who would be a great fit for Daly project. Thus enable the Daly's to learn as well as have a really productive greenhouse as so much if it comes from watching , paying attention and experience with the plants.
