The Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center officially opened Monday with a grandiose ceremony for a packed pavilion. The ribbon cutting featured several speakers, including SGF Parks Director Jodie Adams, to kick off a week of festivities to celebrate. The Botanical Center is at Nathanael Greene-Close Memorial Park surrounded by 45 gardens – 24 completed botanical gardens, according to Adams. “This is not a fad,” Adams said. Botanical education is overdue in the area and plans to extend the botanical facilities with an edible garden and an outdoor kitchen area are in progress.
