Hahn Horticulture Garden

Hahn Horticulture Garden is a six-acre botanical garden on the Virginia Tech campus featuring several distinct growing areas. It includes perennial borders, water gardens, shade plantings, and a meadow garden, plus a pavilion used for teaching and gatherings.

The garden opened in 1984 as a project developed by faculty members from Virginia Tech's horticulture department. Its creation established a place where students and researchers could study and experiment with plant cultivation.

The garden serves as a teaching space where students and visitors can see how plants grow together in different settings. Walking through reveals how landscapers and botanists think about creating spaces with various plant communities.

The grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset and are free to visit at any time. The pavilion building is accessible on weekdays and offers indoor space if you need shelter from weather.

A striking feature is a path lined with Trident Maple trees underplanted with perennials, creating a natural corridor through the garden. A sculpture by Frank Lloyd Wright stands near the entrance, adding an architectural touch to the grounds.
