Conservatory works near completion

Although Broomfield Park Conservatory remains closed to the public, there is good news - the end of the refurbishment is in sight. Scaffolding has been removed and the works are nearing completion with the contractors completing the final touches.. The project has taken longer than anticipated, because the Council agreed to fund the painting of the interior, as well as the exterior. 

The handover is only a couple of weeks away - visitors will be welcomed back to the Conservatory shortly. However, many of the plants will need to be replaced after the works - but volunteers see this as an opportunity to review the displays and improve the presentation of the collections. and a very successful Plant sale on Sunday April 14, has raised funds towards restocking the conservatory once the work is finished.
