In Loving Memory of JoAnn Fowler (1941 - 2024)

Hope Botanical Garden is deeply saddened to announce the passing of JoAnn Fowler, our beloved Vice President and a founding member of our board. JoAnn had been with Hope Botanical Garden since its inception in 2017, and her passion for horticulture and dedication to our mission were instrumental in shaping our organization into what it is today.

JoAnn’s infectious enthusiasm, unwavering commitment, insightful guidance and zeal were an inspiration to all who knew her.  Her technical writing skills, knowledge and expertise were invaluable, and her warm smile and welcoming presence will be deeply missed.

JoAnn’s legacy will live on in the beauty of Hope Botanical Garden. We extend our heartfelt condolences to JoAnn’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in JoAnn’s memory to Hope Botanical Garden. Your contribution will help us continue JoAnn’s vision of cultivating a public garden that reflects the unique character of the region while promoting knowledge, enjoyment and conservation of native and site-adapted plants through display, education and research.

Donations may be made here.

A Celebration of Life service will be held for JoAnn on Saturday, June 22nd at Greenhill Funeral Home. Visitation will begin at 2:30 PM, followed by the service at 3:00 PM.

We are grateful for the profound impact JoAnn made on Hope Botanical Garden. May she rest in peace.

A-MAZE-ing Halloween Event

Join us October 28th through 31st, from 5pm to 8pm for our Halloween Maze at the Garden. We will provide a safe, kid-friendly environment for all to enjoy.  Kids will collect candy as they wander in the maze meeting unique characters along the way.  After dark, collecting candy will be replaced with special sound effects as things become a little more spooky with costumed characters creeping around the grounds.  Flashlights will be provided for everyone’s safety.

Admission will be $2 per person. (free to members)

Spring 2022 Update

Spring has arrived and so has the grand opening of Hope Botanical Garden.  After a five year journey of developing the garden we are pleased to announce a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:00 a.m. on April 22, 2022.  We are celebrating our opening in conjunction with Earth Day.  

Although we have reached this long awaited milestone some major construction projects will be underway for the forseeable future. Despite a record drought, unprecendented rainfall with flooding and the Covid 19 pandemic, our garden staff did not lessen their determination to meet the opening deadline.  We wish to extend to everyone an invitation to come and be a part of our grand opening.  Guided tours will be provided by expert staff for much of the day to answer any questions.

October 2021 Update

We’re thrilled to share that we received a $5000 local operating grant from USA TODAY NETWORK’s A Community Thrives initiative!  A Community Thrives, which is part of the Gannett Foundation, supports non-profit organizations like ours with projects focused on community building.  This grant will go to support the construction of a visitor center and restroom facility.  This grant combined with the challenge campaign brings us to a total of $12000 for the project. We are optimistic the facility will be operational by opening date next April.

This summer has been a gardener’s dream with more than ample rain during the entire growing season.  The Garden is flourishing with only a few exceptions of too much water.  We are currently constructing a perennial garden, refreshing existing flower beds and identifying new areas for planting .  Feel free to visit the garden and mark your calendar for our official opening scheduled for April 22nd of next year.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
