FAQ's...
How
will our garden grow?
The Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve
is growing with the support and dedication
of an active board, members of the association
and community leaders. We are currently working
with a professional landscape architect firm in
developing a master plan. This master plan will serve
as a blueprint for the design and planting of the gardens,
construction o f buildings, and a phasing
plan with real costs.
How much will the gardens cost to
build?
We will have a good estimate once
the master plan has been completed. However, we do
know it will be in the millions. Keep in mind
the development plans will be split up into several phases
with each phase taking 3-5 years to complete.
How are the funds being raised?
With
the master plan in hand, we will start a capital campaign in
which businesses, foundations and community leaders
will be called upon to make this growing landmark
a reality. We will apply for any state and
federal grants available. We will continue pursuing
community fundraising through individual memberships, group
support and special events.
When will the gardens be completed?
A
garden project of this size will have to open in phases
and may take many years to bring to fulfillment.
Phase one will take 3-5 years to complete.
More details will be available once our master plan
has been developed. However, there are preliminary
plans being drawn for opening woodland trails
as soon as possible.
