Vandalism at Ballard Greenhouse

This week, Ballard Greenhouse in Ballard Park was vandalized causing significant damage to the glass panes. Many windows were broken by rocks and coins. This historic greenhouse was built in 1906 by Lord & Burnham. It is managed by the Garden and Conservation Trust with members from both Ridgefield and Caudatowa Garden Clubs serving on the board.

This greenhouse is a treasure to our town. For over 50 years, it has been used to educate as well as grow plants and flowers for our annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale. It is devastating to all of us that care so much about Ridgefield and the public spaces in town.

Please respect what makes our town unique and contact the police if you see anything suspicious in Ballard Park. Thank you for your support!
