Welcome to the Williamsburg Botanical Garden

“The nation behaves well when it treats its natural resources as assets, which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.”
      Teddy Roosevelt, 1903

Early Summer in the Garden

Photos by Helen Hamilton

The Ellipse Garden is heavily in bloom, thanks to abundant rain, and the deer fence which has allowed plants to flourish. A crew from Cooke's Gardens recently added mulch to the pathway, greatly enhancing the appearance of the Garden, and making strolls throught each area much easier. Come out and enjoy the spectacular early summer flower show!
