Chickens, goats, a large pig, ponies, ducks, raptors, prairie dogs, corn, vegetables, native plants, historic ranch and farm buildings and a meandering creek nourishing willows and wildlife. That’s a quick inventory ofTo the mix, the organization wants to add new welcome and education centers, a market square, a permanent stage for the amphitheater and gardens featuring plants native to the area and agriculture practiced by Indigenous people.
The Botanic Gardens so far has raised about $6 million for the proposed projects. Vogt said the first work will likely be what he jokingly called “the really glamorous stuff”: sewer systems, parking lots, a solar energy array and other infrastructure. The organization is working with various government agencies, including the Army Corp of Engineers, to get approval for permits. Vogt said it will likely take until next spring to submit final plans.
Another idea was to manage the land as a nature preserve. “But then what do you do about the historic ranches?” Vogt asked.
