For Immediate Release
July 29, 2010
Green Bay, Wis. – Green Bay Botanical Garden recently announced the launch of the Growing the Garden Campaign to raise $3.2 million to further its mission as the leading horticultural, educational, recreational and social destination in the Upper Midwest. The Campaign gifts will be used to build a new Education Center, remodel the current Visitor Center and build additional storage and bathroom facilities in the Children’s Garden. A portion of the campaign will also enable Green Bay Botanical Garden to grow the endowment. To date the Garden has received pledges totaling $2.18 million and is over two-thirds of the way to its goal.
Tonight at the Concert in the Garden (Patchouli performs), the Garden will announce the naming rights for the existing Visitor Center that will be renovated starting in 2011. The remodeled Visitor Center will include a café, expanded gift shop, library, art gallery and educational resource center; it will officially become the Emil & Gail Fischer Visitor Center at Green Bay Botanical Garden.
