“The year 1991 was when the Botanical Gardens were built. There was a movement in the mid 1980’s where people became environmentally conscious due to the price of oil. At that time, you had to wait in long lines to get gas and because of this, there was a spark in interest in the use of solar energy, so the Conservatory was built. The original name for the Pavilion of the Two Sisters was City Park Educational Pavilion. It was meant to be multi-purposeful for horticulture and fundraising activities. Originally, it was designed to accommodate educational functions. It’s well insulated, but there is no real sustainability features. As of right now, the facility completely supports itself by the rent they get when they lease it out for weddings. City Park does not receive funds from the city or state. They have to raise funds for themselves. Botanical Gardens would be a huge money making facility for City Park, however City Park needs help”.
