Good Life Center Update
The Good Life Center is pleased to announce that renovation work to address the moisture problems in the buildings at Forest Farm will begin later this spring. The historic stone house was built in the 1970’s and over the years the surrounding ground has settled allowing water to infiltrate the walls and basement. We are fortunate to have the donated services of local architect Bruce Stahnke who has drafted a restoration plan for both the house and the garage at the center. Site work will begin in the spring as soon as soil and weather conditions are favorable.
The Good Life Center buildings will remain closed to the public until the necessary excavation and ground work is complete. We hope to have the gardens and grounds open for summer tours in July and August and to have the farmhouse ready for new stewards in the fall of this year.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this period. Any contributions of time, money or materials toward the completion of these renovations would be greatly appreciated. We want to thank all stewards and friends who have already lent a helping hand. We want to especially thank Johnson’s Arboriculture of Camden which this week completed necessary tree work and will be developing a tree preservation plan for the property. We will be posting progress reports as the building renovation work proceeds.
