Clovis elected officials, community leaders and local residents will gather on Wednesday, July 31, for the long-anticipated groundbreaking of a striking new visitor center in the Clovis Botanical Garden. The garden is on city-owned land at Dry Creek Park, but the $2 million funding for the project was raised entirely by community contributions. Construction on the 2,460-square-foot facility will begin the first week of August. Renowned local architect Art Dyson, who designed the building, will attend to share the vision that informed his choice of shape and materials for the new project.
