Allen Centennial Gardens
Allen Centennial Gardens, Public garden at University of Wisconsin-Madison, United States.
Allen Centennial Gardens features themed areas with diverse plant collections, seasonal displays, and walking paths across two acres of landscaped grounds.
The Agricultural Dean's House within the gardens, constructed in 1896 in Queen Anne style, served as residence for four deans of Agricultural Sciences.
The gardens function as a living laboratory where students learn about horticulture, ecosystem management, and sustainable gardening practices through hands-on experience.
Located at 10 Babcock Drive in Madison, the gardens remain open year-round without admission fees and offer educational programs for the community.
The garden establishment responded to the 1979 destruction of classroom gardens, leading to new grounds that celebrate the College of Agricultural Sciences centennial.
