Park? Music venue? Wedding site? Executive director discusses Botanic Garden
More than most institutions in Memphis, the Memphis Botanic Garden is a very different thing to different people.
To some it’s park. To others its a music venue. To others its a gathering place for weddings, business events or parties.
Mike Allen, the Botanic Garden’s executive director, joined me on this week’s episode of The Sidebar to talk about all those different aspects of the Botanic Garden. And we talked about the plans for expansion.
