Included in the City’s Master Plan for the park, the Garden will promote knowledge, enjoyment and conservation of plants and nature through display, education and research. The Garden will feature native and site-adapted trees, shrubs and perennials in designed and natural landscapes that are inviting, educational, inspirational, and which reflect the unique character of the Piedmont region. The anticipated opening date is late 2018.
