The Cottage Garden Greenhouse is opening in New Richmond May 3.
The idea of longtime New Richmond residents Jeanne Hilt and Nancy Swats, the new greenhouse business is something that the two best friends have wanted to do since they met in the village 10 years ago.
“New Richmond needs a greenhouse,” Hilt said. “It will be a niche business for the village and we are very excited to offer this to our community. Plus, everyone loves flowers.”
Since they started plans on the business last year, Hilt and Swats have been soliciting input from the community; they have found that everyone was, and is, very interested in a new greenhouse. Until now, the nearest greenhouse is miles away on Beechmont Avenue.
