Focus: Behind-the-Scenes of Operations
Making it Fun! As a young garden, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden strives for excellence while providing modern, playful experiences for staff and visitors alike. Public gardens are known to be places of serenity and learning; however, it is equally important to give people a place to have simple fun. During this Regional Learning Day, participants will get insight into strategies the Garden uses through thoughtful programming, employee enrichment, and community engagement that enable memorable fun!

Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, located in the Southwestern region of Pennsylvania, just outside of the City of Pittsburgh, spans 460 acres, with 65 acres open and accessible to the public. Natural areas of the Garden including the Woodlands, Lotus Pond, and the Magaret L. Simon Dogwood Meadow provide areas for cultivating plant collections, garden design, educational programs, and environmental conservation. This year, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden is celebrating its 10th anniversary of welcoming visitors to explore the diverse landscapes of the Allegheny Plateau. Through ongoing conservation efforts, such as mitigating acid mine drainage and reforestation projects, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden aims to restore and preserve the region’s natural beauty, providing a sanctuary for both visitors and native flora and fauna.
