Metro Parks Tacoma is poised to embark on improvements to the W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory, and managers would like citizens' input.

The conservatory is a historic treasure that has graced the east side of Wright Park since 1908.  But after more than a century of use, the Victorian-style structure is short of space - it has no public restrooms, for example - and needs a face-lift. To better serve Tacoma's citizens, a renovation and expansion is under discussion that would allow the conservatory to deliver needed services and programs now and in the future.

What: Public meeting to discuss improvements to the W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory
Where: Metro Parks Tacoma Board Room, 4702 S. 19th St, Tacoma
When: 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21
For more information: (253) 305-1054

Anyone unable to attend the meeting may give comments by contacting Project Manager Kristi Evans at (253) 305-1054 or kristie@tacomaparks.commailto:kristie@tacomaparks.com.
