Have you been to the West Virginia Botanic Garden?

Nestled between Morgantown and Cheat Lake, the West Virginia Botanic Garden provides an oasis from city life with over 4 miles of trails through shaded hemlock and hardwood forest, crossing streams and circling the wetlands of the old Tibbs Run Reservoir and an ever-growing collection of gardens.

Would you like to host an event at the Garden?

In harmony with nature and gardens, The Terrace at Tibbs Run was skillfully designed for weddings, meetings, conferences, and events that showcase the beauty of West Virginia. This modern and spacious venue is the perfect setting for any gathering.
