An article on Wikipedia has information about Botanical garden in areas beyond Albemarle County's borders. |
Monticello is home to the area's only botanical garden[1].
History
According Lily Fox-Bruguiere, a graduate student at the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson originally planned a botanical garden at UVa and got as far as appointing someone to oversee the plans before he died[2].
According to Sallie Brown, in the 1930s, there was a bird and wildflower garden in McIntire Park, built as a Work Progress Administration project[3].
McIntire Park proposals
Two groups, McIntire Botanical Garden and Charlottesville Botanical Garden, each had separate proposals for the creation of a new botanic garden in the east end of McIntire Park, precipitated by the construction of McIntire Road Extended through the park[citation needed]. The city eventually signed a memorandum of understanding with the MBG group. [4]
The Coalition to Preserve McIntire Park believed the gardens should be created on the site of the Rock Hill Gardens[5].
