Informational Presentation from Staff Announcing the Kick-Off for the Olbrich Botanical Gardens Comprehensive Master and Interpretive Plans

 

Body

The Comprehensive Master Plan for Olbrich Botanical Gardens will outline the path for strategically maintaining the Garden’s current facilities while exploring potential for new gardens and capacity to meet the needs of the growing community. In conjunction with the comprehensive master plan, we are also completing an interpretive plan. Reed Hildebrand along with Damon Farber, EQT by Design, Interpretive Planner Natasha Waterson, and Once Future are the teams selected for these plans. The final plan will be the steering document for the next twenty-five years for Olbrich Botanical Gardens.  The plan will take place over the next 6 months with multiple public engagement opportunities. The first public workshop is scheduled for November 13, 2025 at Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
