The Garden of Tomorrow

Landscapes  >  Norfolk Botanical Garden

The Green Room creates an immersive design in The Garden of Tomorrow, the largest expansion in the history of a 175-acre botanical garden in Norfolk, Virginia.

As a living repository of rare, endangered, and threatened plant species from the tropical and arid regions of the world, the Garden of Tomorrow’s 26,000 square-foot desert and tropical biomes collect and share horticultural species for today’s visitors and future generations. 

In a desert biome, a dry landscape rolls underfoot as if a pathway was dropped into a natural desert canyon. In a tropical biome, visitors explore threatened species immersed beneath a dense humid canopy.

The immersive spaces allow visitors to experience connections with nature. The plant collection fosters the biodiversity of the planet and creates awareness of the human impact on threatened species.
