Louisville Waterfront Botanical Gardens
The proposed site for the Waterfront Botanical Gardens lies within the boundaries of one of Louisville’s oldest city areas, known as “The Point.” This area has seen dramatic changes over the years, beginning in the antebellum period, when Fulton Street was lined with summer homes of prosperous French families from New Orleans, who came north during the summer months to escape the heat. After disastrous flooding in the late 1800s and again in 1937, the area was turned into a city dump for building refuse from flood damaged homes. After decades spent as the Ohio Street Dump, which was capped in 1973, the area is being redeveloped into an ecological haven.
