We're excited for our recent purchase of the historic WeatherBerry home. Stay tuned for what we have planned!
It's almost time to make the move to our new entrance at WeatherBerry at 2731 West 2nd Street! We have a lot of planning to do yet, but we hope to relocate our offices in late January. Watch for an official announcement on when the move will happen.
To coincide with these changes, Garden operating hours will change also. Beginning March 1st, our new hours will be Monday - Saturday 9am to 4pm, Sundays open 12pm to 4pm. We plan to have a garden staff/ volunteer greet every guest. We are seeking volunteers to be present at WeatherBerry to take admission and assist with any gift shop sales. YES- we said it- Gift Shop!
Please know our gift shop will start out small but we hope to slowly grow the inventory and offer some local wares as well as soft drinks/ water. Tours of WeatherBerry will be offered on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 1pm during our Growing Season (March - October). No on-demand tours will be offered. All other tour requests must be handled in advance and subject to an extra fee.

The Path of Hope and Healing
The project is intended to be an uplifting experience, through the healing powers of nature, for all of us affected by cancer. It will recognize the most common cancers diagnosed in KY. Your experience will begin as you exit the back door of WeatherBerry and encounter a 320 foot meandering pathway installed by Ward Pedley, Jr. Along the pathway, the visitor will encounter 12 glass ribbons made by Daviess County native, Brook White. Each ribbon will be a different color to represent various types of cancers, which are also incorporated into the wings of a substantial butterfly sculpture. The butterfly sculpture will be created by local glass artist, Scott Poynter and local metal worker, Chris Schartung. this is a rendering drawn to scale. The sculpture will stand nearly 21 feet tall. This project is made possible from a generous donation by Charles and Mary Ann Medley. Many thanks to the Medley's! Hoping to be installed in time for Mother's Day 2022! |

The activities such as the service project at the Botanical Garden
was a unique experience that I had never really gotten to have.
Sure, we just pulled weeds from a Daylily Garden, but walking around
and seeing how nice and beautiful the flowers were made me think
that being a hundred miles from where I call home would be
manageable for the next 4 years. -Brescia University Freshman

In a time when we are always "connected" but often don't connect, The Garden provides a tranquil opportunity to tune into nature and turn towards each other. Bring a loved-one and experience the bounty and beauty together. With each visit I am rejuvenated and find a renewed gratitude for this truly peaceful place. -Natalie J. Mountjoy

We visited your garden on a chilly day in April. It was our first time visiting Kentucky and thoroughly enjoyed your garden as one of the highlights. We could envision how it would look once your weather warmed up. However, the sculptures provided entertainment that made up for the lack of flowers. We live in California, so cannot volunteer, but would love to if we were closer!
