The Carol Dibble Greenhouse

The Carol Dibble Community Greenhouse

Up-cycled in 2012 from the decommissioned municipal sewage treatment plant by the late Carol Dibble & the Bear River Board of Trade, the community greenhouse is now a hub for locals with a green thumb. The members maintain the beds outside the building and anything grown within them is there for the community as an initiative to combat food scarcity. The main building has open doors throughout the summer, but only registered members may enter.

Notice: Picking from outside is encouraged.

 

Please do not go inside.
