The McIntire Botanical Garden is a non-profit organization that advocates the construction of a botanical garden in the eastern half of McIntire Park.[1][2] After years of negotiations, the group entered into a memorandum of agreement with the city of Charlottesville in late September 2015. [3]

The group hopes to open the park in the spring of 2018.

Planning Process

According to the City of Charlottesville's Website, there have been two public meetings so far about the design of the garden. The last one was on September 3rd, 2014. Closed meetings have continued since then between McIntire Botanical Garden's and City Staff. [citation needed]

Draft Memorandum of Understanding

On January 27th, 2015 city parks staff drafted a memorandum of understanding which would guide the formal relationship between McIntire Botanical Garden and the City of Charlottesville. The agreement was signed in September 2015.

Other botanical garden proposals

Charlottesville Botanical Garden was a competing non-profit organization with similar goals. At a McIntire Botanical Garden meeting held Aug. 28 2008, Lonnie Murray, a representative of that group, said he would be willing to merge the two groups. [4]
