Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden
Attend an Open House this Saturday, October 25, to see the final design
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) thanks everyone who attended two recent open house meetings and provided input via survey for the upcoming Eloise Buter Wildflower Garden Entrance Renovation at Theodore Wirth Park.
MPRB will host an open house to share the first look at the final design concept. Anyone can attend.
Open House
Oct. 25, 9-11:30 am
This meeting will take place just outside the entrance to Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden near the existing parking lot.
If you are unable to attend and are still interested in viewing the final design concepts, they will be made available on the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden Entrance Renovation Project web page the following week.
About the Project
The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden Entrance Renovation Project looks to renovate and reimagine the entrance into the wildflower garden. This project will improve the entry experience and access from the beginning as soon as visitors exit off Theodore Wirth Parkway all the way through the garden gates. Areas of focus include:
- Improved walking trails and ADA access to the garden entrance gate from the existing parking lot
- A public gathering space for outdoor learning and education
- Enhanced welcoming experience by bringing the garden beyond the renovated entrance gate
The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden Renovation Project will build upon the vision outlined with the 2015-approved Theodore Wirth Regional Park Plan. This project will also follow guidance by the 2022 community findings that were developed and recommendations at that time.
This work is being done in tandem with several other improvement projects in the park, including an improved wayfinding system and boardwalk replacement at the Quaking Bog.
