    Woodlands Garden Provides Details on Expansion Plan

    Decatur Metro | October 9, 2014 | 11:08 am

    Back when it was announced that the Woodlands Garden would be acquiring the adjacent property at the corner of Clairemont and Scott Boulevard, many you wondered about their plans for the site.  This letter released this morning from their Board gives a glimpse of what’s to come…

    To our Neighbors and Friends:

    Woodlands Garden of Decatur, Inc. is pleased to announce plans to acquire the property located at 915 Clairemont Avenue, at the northeast corner of Scott Boulevard and Clairemont Avenue.  This property was recently purchased by the Decatur Development Authority.  Woodlands has signed an agreement with the Authority that gives us 18 months to raise the funds to purchase the property from the Authority.

    This is a tremendous opportunity for Woodlands to preserve the green space at this highly visible location and to provide improved access to the Garden.  Plans for how to integrate this new property are not complete, but we expect changes to our green space that will allow safe entry and exit, some additional parking, and new plantings consistent with our current Garden.

    We are also developing master plan improvements for our current 7 acres.   This additional property will provide further opportunity to enhance the Woodlands experience and beautify the corner.  Ultimately, the beauty and serenity of the Garden is our focus.  The improvements we make over the next two years will allow our community to more easily experience Woodlands Garden.

    Visit us at woodlandsgarden.org and stroll through the Garden often.  We will keep you informed as we move toward acquisition of the property.  As always, we deeply appreciate your support.

    The Board of Directors and Staff of Woodlands Garden of Decatur
