Garden description

The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks was incorporated in 1994 and opened to the public in 2007. The first phase of development included nine “Backyard Gardens,” created to demonstrate garden design concepts suitable for home use. These initial gardens were the Japanese Garden, Vegetable and Herb Garden, Children’s Garden, Four Seasons Garden, Shade Garden, Rose and Perennial Garden, Ozark Native Garden, Sensory Garden, and Rock and Water Garden. Additional gardens and features have since been added, including the Founders Garden, the Reading Railroad, the Education Cottage Garden, and the Butterfly House and Garden.
