Botanical Garden

Prestigious for its outstanding landscape and instructive projects, Norfolk Botanical Garden is viewed as a chief case of agricultural magnificence.

The Garden goes back to 1938 when the Works Progress Administration supported 200 African-American ladies to clear the thick, local vegetation and plant 4,000 Azaleas.

Today, the Garden speaks to 155-sections of land of bright scenes, strange blooms, develop woodlands and occasional plantings and highlights one of the biggest accumulations of azaleas, camellias, roses and rhododendrons on the East Coast.

Open 365-days a year, the Garden is one of the main greenhouses offering visits by foot, pontoon or cable car.
