AAS Display Garden Feature

Rotary Botanical Gardens, 1455 Palmer Drive, Janesville, Wisconsin, is a beautiful 20-acre non-profit botanic garden with internationally themed gardens as well as herb, fern and moss, shade, prairie and woodland gardens. Their mission is to provide for the education and appreciation of horticulture for the benefit of all people. Rotary programs include curriculum co-operation with the public schools and the Master Gardener program as well as hosting gardening classes and seminars. 

Rotary was approved as an All-America Selections Flower Display Garden in January, 2003. The following year AAS honored Rotary Botanical Gardens with a national award for their exemplary historical AAS display. Their winning garden, featuring 170 varieties of AAS flower award winners from 1933 to 2004 arranged by date of AAS introduction, allowed visitors an educational stroll through history.

In 2007, to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of AAS, Rotary Botanical Gardens created another visually stunning AAS historical display. As in 2004, Rotary Botanical Gardens generously shared their extensive research documenting seed sources for the featured AAS varieties, and donated numerous digital images to the AAS photo library. Rotary has grown hundreds of AAS winners over the years, and showcases some of their favorites in this virtual tour of their AAS Display.

This year, put Rotary Botanical Gardens as a “Must See” garden, as you won’t want to miss the garden they are enthusiastically creating as their entry into the exciting 2012 AAS Display Garden Landscape Design contest.

In addition to their All-America Selections display, Rotary Botanical Gardens is one of 28 gardens in the United States to have an American Garden Award Display, where (as of June 1) you can vote for your favorite flower.
