Pardon Our Progress!
The Garden’s east parking lot in front of the Ridgway Visitor Center has been closed for much needed repairs and improvement. The west lot will remain open and there is no cost for parking in this lot.

Improvements include several new sustainable features. A portion of the lot will be paved with “pervious” concrete, which allows rainwater to pass directly through to be reabsorbed by the ground. A rain garden will also help keep run-off to a minimum. Lighting, irrigation, and plantings will be improved as well. This project is funded by Federal transportation funds through MoDOT. Work is expected to be completed this spring.
