A glowing gateway may soon reshape our skyline

Zoom in: The arch's design — still a conceptual rendering and subject to change — is a fan-shaped lattice, echoing the curves of a blooming flower.

Driving the news: The garden has almost completed a $9 million capital campaign for improvements, including the arch design, CEO Kim Perez tells Axios.

• Renovations to the Gardeners Show House and meeting rooms are in progress and are expected to be completed by the end of September.
• Updates to the lobby space, offices and the arch will likely begin in 2026.

Caveat: Garden staff are reviewing what approvals they'll need to proceed with the project, Perez said.

• The hope is that this arch could be lit for greater nighttime visibility, similar to the garden's iconic dome, she said.

The bottom line: Be patient.
