Ellwanger Garden, Botanical garden in Rochester, New York, United States.
The garden spans half an acre, featuring a collection of perennials, trees, and shrubs arranged in carefully designed landscapes at Mount Hope Avenue.
George Ellwanger established this garden in 1867 as part of his residential grounds, maintaining it with his family for 115 years until 1982.
