“This climate-controlled space will provide a tropical climate for our exotic plants and flowers.”
“We call it ‘The Barn,’ keeping with our farmer’s market theme,” said VRG Manager Lindsey Curé. “The Barn brings 3,600 feet of a modern farmhouse feel, sprouting with new product lines and energy. There was a lot of preparation, and the work was done in stages.”
The project took 14 months of construction.
“The plants in The Barn are houseplants or temperature sensitive varieties that do better inside most of the year,” said Curé. “We are now able to offer more houseplants and succulents as well as specialty soils for plant enthusiasts. We also plan to expand our product line to offer items related to gardening, including vegetable seeds, terrarium and bonsai supplies, birding items and large glazed pots.”
The Barn is a prefabricated building by FCP Barns & Buildings, engineered by SEC & Brent Maupin. The general contractor was Buffalo Fence & Barn, Co.
“Spring through Mother’s Day is our busiest season, almost like our Black Friday,” said VRG Retail Manager Mateo Cimadevilla. “This climate-controlled space will provide a tropical climate for our exotic plants and flowers.” FBN
