West Virginia Botanic Garden
Morgantown, WVBegun as only a dream in 2000, the WVBG is steadily becoming a reality on the 82-acre former Tibbs Run Reservoir property off the Tyrone Road in Monongalia County, WV. The former 15-acre basin will be transformed into two smaller pools with islands and aquatic plant displays. The old water works, still present, will stand as a link to the past.
The WVBG will feature a large variety of plants appropriate to the region’s climate and soils in both designed and natural settings. Visitors will learn from these gardens in every season of the year. Most of the land is wooded, and much will remain undisturbed except for trail construction and some plant enhancement.
The West Virginia Botanic Garden at Tibbs Run Preserve is a non-profit organization.
