While spring is always highlighted by blooming plants, next spring will also sprout a new home for a Coupeville nursery.

Sally’s Garden, on South Main Street in Coupe’s Village, will get a new home next spring a new building in front of the current one is complete.

The current building’s dilapidated condition created the need for a new facility.

“It’s being held together with glue and paint,” said Sally Clifton, who co-owns Sally’s Garden with her daughter Catrina.

The more than 100-year-old house doesn’t have a foundation, the roof leaks and sags and the walls are rotted. She pointed out a fuchsia in front of a bay window facing South Main Street that had also bloomed inside the front wall.

The new business will be constructed on the lot between South Main Street and the current building.

“It’s not going to look like this building but will have the same character,” Clifton said.

The new, two-story, 2,000-square-foot building faces a neighboring Coupe’s Village building. It will have bay windows. The second story will hold office space and room for a Christmas room that will feature the holiday year- round.

Construction on the new building is expected to begin soon. The Coupeville Design Review Board signed off on the project last month, leaving the building inspector’s signature as the final go-ahead.

Even though the house that is now home to Sally’s Garden is more than 100 years old, it doesn’t have historical significance because it has gone through numerous alterations over the years.

Before Clifton bought the building seven years ago, it housed several businesses including a travel agency and a video store. It was originally a home.

Sally’s Garden features outdoor plants. She also sells gifts, interior plants and home decorations.

Construction of the new building should be complete next spring. She plans to stay open during the construction and then move in once the new building is ready.

“We will be able to move pretty seamlessly,” Clifton said.

The empty building will be demolished to make room for a heated greenhouse that will allow Clifton to sell tropical plants.

The new building will provide safer parking for customers because it will be further away from Main Street, said Ted Clifton of Clifton View Homes. He is Sally’s husband and is building the new facility.

The new building will also allow for some parking changes in the complex. Instead of angled parking at the building housing Clifton View Homes, the parking will be perpendicular and allow for more spaces.

As construction starts on Sally’s Garden, construction crews are finishing up work on the new Peoples Bank Building.

Ted Clifton said that construction will be finished by the end of the year. Until the building is complete, Peoples Bank is operating out of a temporary location in Coupe’s Village.
