This purchase adds a greenhouse to the Botanical Gardens. The master plan for the

greenhouse. The Grapevine Garden Club helped raise over $100,000.00 for the purchase
of the greenhouse. The primary purpose of the greenhouse will be education. Attached

This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Interlocal Participation

by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program.
