Program areas at Myriad Botanical Gardens

Our top three programs consist of our grounds, horticultural educational programs and recreational and cultural events. Our 15-acres of outdoor Gardens, lawns, water features, children's playground and visitor lobby are free and open to the public. The site contains extensive plant collections and green spaces for education, play, relaxation and inspiration for all ages to appreciate and learn about plants and gardening. Our year-round horticultural education programs for all ages include lectures, hands-on workshops, outdoor plant walks, and an annual all day garden education symposium. We offer a spring native plant sale, a spring garden festival and a fall tree sale. Our recreational and cultural events include: concerts, movies, art exhibits, seasonal family festivals (bringing books to life and pumpkinville), ice skating, yoga, bike programs, basketball and futsol courts, holiday events and ethnic festivals. We estimate over 300,000 participate in our programs, special events and visits to the conservatory. We estimate over 500,000 people a year visit the Gardens. Our tropical plant conservatory undertook a major renovation and reopened to the public in november 2022. The renovations resulted in improved displays, interpretation, accessibility, new water features and sculpture. A new gift shop opened at the same time featuring a wide range of inventory that is botanically themed or useful for gardening. Visitor attendance for both attractions have exceeded budgeted expectations for the first year.
