Wind and water won't prevent World of Wonders from opening as planned
Norfolk, VA – Norfolk Botanical Garden will celebrate the grand opening of World of Wonders – A Children's Adventure Garden this weekend as scheduled, despite damage left behind by Tropical Storm Ernesto. Since before dawn this morning, the sounds of chainsaws, sweepers and blowers have been heard throughout the Garden, as staff members and volunteers work diligently to make sure opening festivities won't be affected. A few locations have been changed and tram routes have been altered, but we're happy to say we'll be ready to open the gates of the largest Children's Garden on the East Coast as planned, at 9:30 this morning.
