I know this blog is predominantly concerned with garden history, but history has to start somewhere and it is always nice to report on contemporary projects that are going to have a long term legacy.

One such is the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, which founded in 1988 'is transforming 460 acres just 20 minutes
outside the city into a world-class botanic garden, including 18
distinct gardens, five diverse woodland experiences, an enhanced
visitor’s center, an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and performances,
a celebration center to accommodate large outdoor or indoor weddings
and corporate events, and a center for botanic research.' The vision of the garden is stated in the masterplan.

It should be noted that the botanic garden is NOT OPEN for general admission at this time but there are scheduled 'Peek and Preview' events and tours which can be booked via the Botanic Garden's website, where you can also find a full history of the story so far.
