The impressive new glasshouse at the botanic garden in Coffs Harbour should be complete by the end of July this year. It was a difficult decision having to demolish the old one in 2018 but it was way past its use-by date - held together by paint by all accounts. It s been a labour of love for volunteers and staff at the local botanic garden (its official title is the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden). The steel and glass design of the building will reflect its surrounding landscape. Lindy Hills was the president of the Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden for many years and instrumental in lobbying governments and applying for grants for the new glasshouse, and now with construction underway she can t wait to see the finished product.
