About
Welcome to the Fort Smith Botanical Society, where our vision is rooted in the idea of cultivating a greener, more connected community. As an initiative in its early stages, we are on a mission to establish a botanical garden—a vibrant space for plant enthusiasts, sustainability advocates, and anyone passionate about community growth.
Our Vision: At the heart of our vision is the belief that a botanical garden can be more than just a beautiful space. It is the physical hub for all our endeavors—a culmination of sustainability, education, community engagement, and the celebration of nature's wonders.
What Sets Us Apart:
- Hub for Sustainability: Envision a garden showcasing potential techniques like rainwater collection, solar energy, xeriscaping, and aquaponics.
- Permaculture Emphasis: Embracing permaculture principles, we aspire to create a sustainable ecosystem within our garden.
- Advocacy for Enriching Landscaping: We connect leaders and volunteers to advocate for better landscaping practices in Fort Smith.
- Conservatory: Imagine a potential year-round green space for plants, providing warmth and beauty during colder months.
Our Garden, Your Hub: More than just a physical space, our botanical garden is the culmination of all our endeavors. It's the hub where sustainability, education, and community engagement come together, creating a space where nature thrives.
Get Involved: Whether you're a plant enthusiast, advocate for sustainable practices, or simply love the idea of a vibrant community space, there's a place for you here. Connect with us to be part of something beautiful for Fort Smith!
