Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden with Thai Pavilion in Madison, Wisconsin, United States.
The 16-acre garden features multiple themed sections, including herb gardens, rose gardens, and perennial gardens surrounding a central glass conservatory.
Michael Olbrich established these gardens in 1952, leading to a partnership between Madison Parks Department and the Olbrich Botanical Society for joint operations.
The garden received a Thai sala pavilion in 2002 from Thailand's government and Wisconsin Alumni Association, representing Thai architectural traditions in North America.
The gardens remain open daily throughout the year from 10 AM to 4 PM, with free admission to outdoor areas and rental options for mobility equipment.
