Brookside Gardens to get a makeover
Published: 11-Mar-2010
Brookside Gardens, the public gardens located within Wheaton Regional Park, US will undergo $5.1 million renovation.
The Montgomery County Planning Board has approved $5.1 million of Capital Improvements Program funds for a bigger, better parking lot and entrance at Brookside Gardens.
The renovations are the first two phases of the garden's 2001 Master Plan, which calls for moving the conservatory up to a revamped visitor's center and adding a new wetland garden.
According to planning estimates, the total cost for the parking lot project, which will add 63 new spaces to the existing 124 and integrate cobblestone and gravel walking paths, is $3 million. Renovating the gate entrance with art, decorative paving and reconfiguring parts of Glenallan Avenue to merge better with the garden's entrance will cost $2 million.
The project is still in the concept level, but construction on both projects is expected to start by 2012 and complete in 2013.
