Partners

Building a network of gardens since 1989

The Garden Conservancy has a small core of staff members and an extensive, enthusiastic network of partners. Many of our partners are garden creators who wish to preserve and share their work with future generations. We also work closely with community groups, large and small organizations and agencies, and hundreds of volunteers.

Together with our partners—garden owners and organizations ranging from small "friends" groups to large national organizations—and hundreds of individual volunteers, we have helped save or restore more than eighty of America's outstanding gardens. We also foster interaction and enable information sharing among gardens, including through regional networks such as the Garden Conservancy Northwest Network.

Below is a comprehensive list of gardens we have helped to preserve since our founding in 1989. The gardens are listed in regional order by state or province. Gardens listed in green type are hyperlinked to more information.

Before visiting any of these gardens, please contact the gardens directly for their hours.
