Jasmine Hill Gardens, Botanical garden in Wetumpka, Alabama, United States.

Jasmine Hill Gardens is a botanical garden in Wetumpka, Alabama, designed with Greek statues and replicas set throughout its grounds. The grounds spread across multiple levels with flowering plants, landscaped pathways, and approximately 40 Greek sculptures and copies positioned among the vegetation.

Benjamin and Mary Fitzpatrick established the gardens in the 1930s following their travels to Greece, where they collected statues and sculptures. Their gathering became the foundation for developing this site, which incorporated Greek artworks into an American landscape.

The garden holds a reproduction of the ruined Temple of Hera at Olympia, Greece, and a separate restored temple façade at the museum entrance showing how the building would have looked in antiquity. Nearly 40 pieces of Greek statuary, both originals and copies, stand among the grounds. The Olympic Torch that originated in the Temple of Hera ruins toured here in 1996 on its way to the Atlanta Games.

Jasmine Hill Gardens sits on U.S. Route 231 near Wetumpka, north of Montgomery. The grounds have been permanently closed to the public since May 23, 2020, so the site cannot be entered; the garden was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on July 21, 1977.

The Olympic Torch relay passed through these gardens in 1996 on its way to Atlanta. This moment connected the site to modern Olympic heritage while maintaining its ties to ancient Greek traditions.
