The Waterfront Botanical Gardens was started by Botanica, an umbrella organization for the local gardening community that was started in 1993 to help enlighten, entertain, and educate the community about the botanical world. In 2001, Botanica learned that it was the beneficiary of a trust established by member Helen Harrigan, a local gardener with a desire to see a botanical garden and conservatory built in Louisville. Helen's gift reshaped the focus of our organization, and we set about our work to create what will become Louisville's Waterfront Botanical Gardens.
As winter loses its grip, the dwarf reticulated iris (Iris reticulata 'Rhapsody') bursts into bloom in our learning gardens at The Avish. This diminutive iris native to the gritty slopes across the Caucasus region -- the land between the Black and Caspian Seas -- grows from a tiny bulb. 🌱
Witch Hazels (Hamamelis) are blooming here at the Gardens!
Join our Director of Horticulture & Education, Jamie Burghardt, for a digital tour of the Ellen T. Leslie Botanical Classrooms! We are excited to share the construction updates and to give everyone a glimpse into our progress.
