Have you seen this lovely rendering of this corner of Scott Boulevard and Clairemont?
In December, Woodlands Garden closed on the 1 acre adjacent property, two months after the city commission rezoned it from residential to institutional. The property was originally purchased by the Downtown Development Authority for $695,000 in order to save it from development, with the intention of selling it to Woodlands.
Woodlands states on its website that the additional 1 acre “…will give Woodlands a highly visible and safe entryway, provide additional parking space, and preserve the land from future development.”
Woodlands has planned an extensive renovation/expansion including…
- A completed visitors center and the addition of public restrooms
- Improved parking and “a safe school bus drop-off zone”
- Enhancement of the former Morse home, “adding amenities for hosting community events”
The Woodlands website states that “These improvements have been planned with the help of noted landscape architecture firm TSW to support increased public traffic without compromising the “haven” quality of the garden.”
