Rockefeller Park

The 1st plans for the City Greenhouse were presented in 1902. Three years later the 1st units were completed on a portion of the 270 acres donated to the City by John D. Rockefeller. The Greenhouse was initially used solely for growing the plants used to landscape City parks and gardens. While city beautification is still one of our aims, the Greenhouse and grounds have since grown into a Botanical garden with specialty plant collections, seasonal floral displays, and theme gardens.
