Gardens' Welcome Center Opens Again

The Welcome Center is staffed by Gardens' volunteers.

Our Gardens' new Welcome Center is finally open for visitors for the first time.  This structure was purchased and placed in late 2019 and was not fully functional until 2020.  Then the COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from using the structure at all in 2020.  We are thrilled to finally open it in late July this season!  It is staffed by Gardens' Volunteers most weekdays. 

Despite the short season this year with the booth, it came with a big impact. Our volunteers have greeted a number of smiling faces in the garden, eager to ask questions, purchase bouquets, and get some gardens merchandise! Our students have loved getting experience with floral arrangements and seeing the excitement on our visitor’s faces when they see that we have t-shirts and mugs for sale. This also provides us the opportunity to share our vision, answer more complex questions in person, and provide the friendly atmosphere that we hope all our visitors feel when entering the gardens. All our sales go to supporting the gardens at the booth. The booth runs from June through the end of August. If you missed our booth this year, make sure you visit next year as we will have even more garden goods available for purchase!
