The public is invited when the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, the largest indoor public garden in New England, opens its doors in a ribbon-cutting ceremony this Friday, March 2, 2007, at 11 am. The first 100 visitors will receive a special welcoming gift.
The state-of-the-art facility, houses a colorful array of flowers, rare plants, waterfalls and unique exhibits, including towering palm trees and carnivorous plants. The Botanical Center also features classroom and lecture space as well as facilities for indoor and outdoor events.
The Botanical Center has been referred to as "a model for collaboration" with 12 partner organizations including the RI Rose Society, RI Orchid Society, New England Carnivorous Plant Society, and URI Master Gardeners.
The $7.7 million facility was financed with Federal, State, and City dollars as well as major support from the Champlin Foundations.
What hours is the arboretum open?
And on what days?
What is the admission price, if any?
