Washington Park

The Washington Park Botanical Garden plans to replace its conservatory dome, which was constructed in the 1970s. Botanical Garden General Manager Alexa Bryan Potts spoke to Community Voices about the need for the dome and how she hopes it will attract future visitors. She also shared the garden’s need for volunteers and what’s blooming at Washington Park.

A combination of state money and a local gift will cover the cost.
