In celebration of Black History Month, Norfolk Botanical Garden is offering free admission on Thursdays in February.
A Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, NBG has a long history with humble beginnings. The Garden celebrates the 220 African-American Works Progress Administration workers who cleared dense vegetation and planted the first azaleas at NBG in the late 1930s.
Ticket dates must be reserved online due to COVID-19 restrictions, visit norfolkbotanicalgarden.org/free-admission-thursdays-in-february.
