JAMES CITY-Williamsburg Botanical Garden at Freedom Park is celebrating its 15th anniversary this month.

The garden was first dedicated on July 26, 2006. Williamsburg Botanical Garden is a demonstration garden that is home to plants native to Virginia’s Coastal Plain.

Williamsburg Botanical Garden is free and open daily to the public. The garden has more than a dozen different sections, and its features include a bulb garden, a butterfly garden, a native plant area, an heirloom garden, an herb garden, a perennial border garden, a therapy garden, a wildflower meadow, and more.

Volunteers from many community organizations help maintain the garden including Master Gardeners, Master Naturalists, The College of William & Mary, and other community members.

Williamsburg Botanical Garden also hosts a monthly Learn and Grow lecture series with garden experts. The next lectures, which remain online due to the pandemic, are scheduled for Saturday, August 21 and Saturday, September 18.

Williamsburg Botanical Garden’s popular Butterfly Festival will make a come back later this year. The Butterfly Festival returns in a modified format Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12. More details about the festival will be released at a later date.

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.

So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.

The Peninsula Chronicle reports on business news on the Virginia Peninsula, from Williamsburg to Newport News and Hampton.
