About Us

“The landscape of the Garden, now covered in lush vegetation, was once a bleak, forgotten, orchard dotted with telephone poles and power lines. Its transformation into the restful gathering place we know today came as a result of hard work and determination by a group of dedicated volunteers who came together through their love of horticulture and a desire to provide the community with a place for learning and enjoyment, for celebration, solace, and remembrance. The history of their mission to create a botanical garden for Northeastern Wisconsin is more than simply a record of the challenges and successes of this huge undertaking. It is a valuable example of how visionaries can bring seemingly impossible dreams to life through community outreach, partnerships and enduring effort.” (A Place for Everyone: The History of Green Bay Botanical Garden, Somerville, 2016, p.3)
