Historic greenhouses at Boyce Thompson Arboretum getting a makeover
by Melissa St. Aude | Florence Reminder & Blade Tribune
Built in 1925, the greenhouses at Boyce Thompson Arboretum have long housed some of the park’s rarest and most delicate plant specimens. And now, at nearly 100 years old, they’re receiving their first makeover.
“Amazingly, the greenhouses have not undergone any renovations or updates since they were first built,” said Ann McKinnon, director of membership and development for Boyce Thompson Arboretum. “This project was too long deferred.”
The greenhouses, which flank the Smith Building, were among the first structures at Boyce Thompson Arboretum and are on the National Registry of Historic Places.
