The Year Construction Begins

A Virtual Briefing for Board of Directors, Advisory Council, and Former Board Members

After years of planning, design development, and fundraising, the Botanical Garden of the Piedmont is preparing to begin construction on its first phase.

Members of the Board of Directors, Advisory Council, and former board members are invited to join us for a virtual presentation offering an inside look at how the project is taking shape as we move toward Phase 1 construction.

During the presentation, Garden leadership and Waterstreet Studio landscape architects will share updates on the Garden’s overall plan, recent refinements to the design, and the elements that will be included in Phase 1.

 

Topics
    • A refresher on the overall Garden plan
    • Updates to the design resulting from right-of-way adjustments
    • A closer look at what will be built during Phase 1
    • Highlights from the planting plan, signage, and other visitor elements

 

Speakers

You’ll hear directly from Waterstreet Studio landscape architects, the firm leading the Garden’s design. Based in Charlottesville, Waterstreet Studio is nationally recognized for landscape architecture that integrates ecology, water systems, and meaningful public spaces.
