New Projects

Lots of new projects are in the works. Some ideas include:
• Installing lighting in the Botanical Garden area.
• Continuing to bring in different varieties of crepe myrtle; when finished we will be the only garden in the U.S. with every variety of crepe myrtle. We will hold an open house when all are in bloom.
• Creating a semi-tropical planting area outside the conference room door.
• Beautify the area around the entrance to the greenhouse, including installing additional drainage and irrigation, new beds, new plantings.

We will also be acquiring PowerPoint presentation software and developing some presentations and/or editing NC State programs for the seminars we provide in the community.
