LAHARPE — Windows make for happy houseplants.

The plants at TLC Greenhouse soon will be just a little bit happier, courtesy of a new building and two new greenhouses that give them more sunlight and space to spread out.

TLC owners Savannah and Levi Flory are building new structures, in part because of necessity and in part to allow for future growth. The improvements include a new retail sales building with several large windows to allow for more natural light, and a large porch across the front to display products.

“Our goal is to sell more houseplants,” Levi said.

“And we wanted a building that made more of a statement,” Savannah said. “With the highway frontage, we had people stop in every day last summer and say they’d never been in before. We’ve expanded the outside quite a bit, so now it’s time to make the building look more like a business.”
