On Wednesday, July 26, 2006, the Park Authority Board approved the White Horticultural Park Master Plan.

The master plan is comprehensive in setting forth a general management plan and a conceptual development plan. It supports the park purpose of preserving resources, promoting stewardship, and providing a unique visitor experience. This document will be a valuable guide to future park management, improvements, and use.

The master plan is supported by a Horticultural Landscape Report prepared by John Milner Associates of Charlottesville. This document inventories and maps the major horticultural resources and provides proper treatment recommendations that will guide the Park Authority and volunteers in the management of this future garden park.

The site is still a private residence and is not open to the public. Until the Park Authority has possession of the site and capital funding, no capital site improvements will be made. Capital funding generally comes from voter approved bonds. Generally, park bonds occur every four years. The next bond cycle where funding may be provided is 2008.
