    Thats always puzzled me too, the veg plot used to be at the bottom of the garden, but that was grassed over as soon as the husband passed away. I'm assuming he wasn't allowed to put the greenhouse where he wanted it.

    The shape of the greenhouse suggests me that is is put there in the middle to make it the focal point -so aesthetical reasons- and for the convenience of having it not too far from the house.
    Also, she may like the feeling of being surrounded by the open lawn when she id attending to the plants, rather that facing a fence.

    As you see the garden has no shrubs flowers etc it is all about the greenhouse. The owner wants probably not to think about the husband passing away and just start a white canvas.
    (I must say I would be curious if she is eliminating the greenhouse to keep just everything empty or what)

      What's the plan - soil borders, fully paved, staging, etc.?


      If she'd left it behind despite being told it wasn't wanted, the purchasers could have charged her with the cost of dismantling and removal. Wise move to dispose of it for free and to where it will be appreciated.

      Cheers Kyle:dbgrtmb: Just found out that the new owners are intending to rotivate it:DOH:

      I hadn't thought of that Scrunge, good point.

      I haven't thought about stageing yet, I do have a bit, but might be using that as a plant stall.

      Main thing is, I can have a cup of tea & a treetreetree in there when its raining, whilst hiding if there are too many wimmin in the house:dbgrtmb:
