Preparation Continues for Botanical Garden of the Piedmont

CHARLOTTESVILLE TOMORROW – As Charlottesville plans a new look for the eastern half of McIntire Park, a nonprofit organization is working with the city to make their collective dream of a botanical garden a near-term reality. “It is hoped that by 2016 a lot of the trails inside the park will have been built to take visitors into the botanical garden area for the very first time,” said Helen Flamini, president of the Botanical Garden of the Piedmont.
