<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Botanical Garden of the Ozarks (BGO) opened
in October 2007. The first phase of garden construction, consisting
of nine themed gardens and a timber-frame multipurpose building, constitutes
around 8 acres of almost 90 acres available for development. The
aesthetic of the Garden reflects the unique natural and cultural heritage
of the Ozarks. From the start, BGO has focused on children’s educational
programming. In 2008, we welcomed 30,000 visitors, 165 volunteers,
and 1,300 members. BGO is operated by a non-profit organization,
the Botanical Garden Society of the Ozarks. BGO currently employs
six full-time staff members and an interim executive director, who serves
as a volunteer.</font>
