Week Five: Gothic Arch Greenhouse Contact

     In class on Wednesday 5/1, I contacted Gothic Arch Greenhouses Inc. with a few questions that the team had.  The major question was "how would you, the manufacturer, go about catching rainwater off of the roof of the greenhouse?" They told me that many of their customers have attached gutters to the side of the greenhouse, and there are plenty of instructional videos on youtube.  The manufacturer said the best place to obtain these supplies is through a local hardware store.
   Also, on Monday, 4/29, I attended the Drexel Urban Growers (DUG) meeting.  They offered support and possible fundraising.  One of the members has worked with Allison at the Walnut Hill Farm.  DUG seems to have a similar goal to the goal at Walnut Hill except DUG tries to focus on bettering the Drexel community.  The members are very helpful, and we will stay in touch.
        Figure 1 shows a preliminary design of the gutters. This design will be edited to be more detailed in the following weeks.
