Norfolk Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Norfolk, United States
The Norfolk Botanical Garden extends across 158 acres with specialized sections including rose gardens, Japanese gardens, and extensive plant collections throughout the grounds.
The garden's establishment in 1938 involved over 200 African-American women and 20 men who cleared the land through a Works Progress Administration grant.
The Japanese Garden section honors Norfolk's sister city relationship with Kitakyushu, incorporating traditional Japanese landscaping and design elements.
Located at 6700 Azalea Garden Road, the garden remains open daily with admission fees and offers educational programs, workshops, and facility rentals.
The Renaissance Garden features eleven marble statues crafted by Sir Moses Jacob Ezekiel, complementing an Italian-style landscape design.
