Volunteers Hoping to Raise Money for Historic Barn and Botanic Garden

Posted: Updated:

The Historic Barns Park and Botanic Garden looks to honor the past and plants seeds for the future.

The fundraising event kicked off this morning at the Grand Traverse Commons.

It's part of a volunteer led community effort to raise money to restore the Common's Historic Cathedral Barn and create a permanent Botanic Garden.

Their goal is $1.5 million and they're almost there, they hope to raise the last $500,000 through this event.

There will also be a garden benefit concert and dance tonight, along with children's art tomorrow.
