Phase 1C | The Garden Expansion
The planned focus of Phase 1C is the development of the Ellen T. Leslie Botanical Classrooms. This 6,000 square foot building will be the center of youth education in Phase 1 and will complement the larger space provided by the Graeser Family Education Center. The Tree Allée will be filled with two dozen American Dream™ Swamp White Oak trees, benches, and a paved walkway. The Beargrass Creek Overlook will showcase a beautiful view of the creek and the wetlands beyond.
