Conservatory Fitting Out


April has been a very busy time with the handover of the Scampston Conservatory from the contractors William Birch and final fitting out work.  This has included fitting external blinds, benches for plants, screens /  audio visual equipment and exhibition panels.

Benches for plants in the hot house have been installed and a range of plants have started to arrive to provide a wonderful display for visitors in the hot-house.  Several new volunteers helped with installing the plants after a recent volunteer training morning.

The hard work by volunteers from The Croft-  Camphill  Village Trust continues, helping to prepare the beds in front of the conservatory and potting on the Pelargonium  plants ready for installation on the benches in the hot house.
