Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is excited to announce a new plan to improve access and entrance into Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden at Theodore Wirth Regional Park.
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.
