The purpose of this site is to tell interested individuals a little about Gardenview,
and let them know how to get here.

What is Gardenview

Gardenview was started in 1949, by an ordinary individual without money; whose only asset
was a vision of an "oasis of beauty" to be enjoyed not only by its present visitors, but by future
generation as well...hopefully forever.
What started out as 16 acres of swampy blue and yellow clay; overgrown with blackberry brambles
and weeds... has slowly been transformed into the world-renowned and beautiful gardens which exist today.
There are numerous gardens, of various shapes and sizes; fitting together , like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, into
one large picture 6 acres in size. There is also a 10 acre arboretum, containing 2500 unusual trees
(including 500 varieties of flowering crabapples), underplanted with thousands of daffodils.
In 1961 Gardenview was given to the public, AS A GIFT, the only condition being that it must
forever remain a Horticultural Park for the enjoyment of all. Title to the property is held, in perpetuity,
by a non-profit corporation which has, as its responsibility, the obligation to administer the Park
for the benefit, and on behalf of the general public. Gardenview is exempt from real estate and other taxes
and all contributions to it are tax deductible as a charitable contribution under provisions of IRS 501 (c)(3)

PURPOSE

To locate, and obtain all kinds of extremely choice, rare and uncommon plants... from all over
the world... and to display them in English Cottage Garden settings.

What's in bloom?

The gardens here are made up primarily of unusual, uncommon and
rare plants collected from all over the world, with special emphasis
on plants with variegated, silver, golden, or colored foliage.
Things begin to bloom about mid-February and, every 10 days or
two weeks, there is something entirely different in bloom
until November.

As a non-profit, tax-exempt institution; the Gardenview Horticultural Park can only
continue to exist if there are enough people who appreciate it enough to support it
financially; to whatever extent they are able; and in any way in
which they can help.
You can help in any of the following ways
