DISASTER.

Happy that all was going so well with the growth of my plants, I arrived for the fourth time that month to check on their progress. I had a niggling feeling in the back of my mind about the installation though. Last week, the pots were completely dried up and the greenhouse was looking rather weather-beaten from the wind.

I arrived on Tuesday morning and having seen the manager to say hello after the bank holiday weekend, I went outside to see the installation. I always knew that Friday nights were very popular at JWT's bar and roof terrace, but fortunately, my greenhouse had not been affected by any accidents during it's time there...until now.
I arrived to this:

The greenhouse cover was completely ripped, and therefore wasn't keeping the plants safe from the elements nor at an appropriate temperature. I am not quite sure what happened. The wind had really battered my little delicate greenhouse. It was really sad to see.

Besides this as I walked in, I noticed that at least a third of the plant pots had been knocked over. A lot of them were broken, there was soil all over the ground and some plants were missing. Someone had obviously caused an accident and had left a complete mess. I could see that they had tried to quickly put things back in place again, but it really ruined the whole idea of my installation. The origional event had been held so that the participants could follow the progress of their individual pots, from start to finish. I was really upset that someone had almost ruined my project.

I understand that accidents happen, and I am flattered that people were curious enough with the progress of their plants that they wanted to enter the greenhouse randomly, but that hadn't really helped...
Oh well. I took a deep breath and sought to rectify the situation. I was not prepared to let a small hitch like this ruin all of the hard work and effort I had put into this installation and project.
