A new feature is underway in the Japanese Garden! 🛠 A zig-zag bridge's 90-degree turns control the direction of visitors' gazes, prompting them to contemplate and enjoy the views from different angles. They can be found in Japanese and Chinese gardens, oftentimes going over a water feature. Kudos to our garden team for the work being put into this!

Calling all crafty fall-lovers! 🎃 We’re accepting donations of hand-decorated scarecrows for our Scarecrows in the Garden | Fall Market & Bake Sale event! Donated scarecrows will be purchased by attendees with proceeds benefitting the growth of the Northern Plains Botanic Gardens. Help spread the word and share with your friends and family!

Thank you, Alex Stern Family Foundation, for the grant for general operating support!

This grant will support NPBGS operations so that we can continue to grow, develop, and maintain the beautiful Northern Plains Botanic Garden as a welcoming, educational, and peaceful public place.

In celebration of this support from the Alex Stern Family Foundation, we invite you to grow, cultivate, and learn with us at the Northern Plains Botanic Garden. Come Grow with Us!
