Roger Williams Park Botanical Center

Roger Williams Park Botanical Center is a botanical garden in Providence featuring four large greenhouses under one roof. The space houses tall palms, carnivorous plants, and a diverse collection of succulents all maintained in climate-controlled environments.

The center developed as part of Roger Williams Park and became one of New England's largest horticultural facilities. Over time, the greenhouses expanded to accommodate an increasingly diverse plant collection and conservation efforts.

The center serves as a place where people discover plants from tropical and desert regions they might never see elsewhere. Seasonal displays and educational events help visitors understand the importance of different ecosystems and plant conservation.

The greenhouses can be explored at your own pace throughout the day, moving between the different plant collections easily. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended, and the high humidity indoors means light, breathable clothing works best.

During summer months, a rose maze flowers and invites visitors to walk through it from June to September. This special outdoor feature adds a playful element to the visit that complements the greenhouse experience.
