Welcome to the
West Virginia Botanic Garden!
The Botanic Garden is free and open for your use and enjoyment from DAWN to DUSK. Feel free to wander the grounds and photograph the garden.
There is a surprising combination of nature and history to explore at this public park located just minutes from Morgantown, West Virginia. Winter presents the WVBG with just as much beauty as warm seasons, so please visit and enjoy. Beautiful trails, boardwalks, benches, streams, and vistas await all who take solace in the outdoors.

West Virginia Botanic Garden, 1061 Tyrone Rd., Morgantown
The photo of the outlet tower on the left was taken in 1979, while the photo on the right shows how it looks today.
Come learn why Morgantown residents wanted “no more woolly worm water.” We will unveil new signs that tell the story of the Tibbs Run Reservoir, which served Morgantown residents from 1912 to 1969 and is now the site of the West Virginia Botanic Garden. After a short presentation, you are invited to view the signs along an easy ¾-mile trail and join us for light refreshments. We hope to see you there! Read more...
