OverviewThe 20-acre site contains a number of themed gardens, including Japanese, Scottish, French formal, Italian, and English cottage gardens. The Japanese garden borders a pond that is spanned by a red Japanese-styled bridge.[1] A sunken garden is surrounded by limestone walls and perennial plantings. Its entrance is a Tudor-style stone arch that was once the entrance to the Parker Pen Company's world headquarters formerly located in Janesville.[1] There are also less formal gardens, such as a fern and moss garden, and shade, prairie, and woodland gardens.[2] Rotary Botanical Gardens is a self-sustaining non-profit organization.[4] With over 100,000 visitors annually, it is the most frequented tourist destination in Rock County.[3] It is also a popular site for weddings and receptions.[3] HistoryRotary Botanical Gardens was established in 1988 by Janesville Rotary Clubs on the grounds of a defunct sand and gravel quarry.[4] Owned by the city, the site was filled with debris and equipment. The city leased the site to the Rotarians, who began a multi-year cleanup project. After tons of rubbish were removed, gardens, walkways, benches, and gazebos were added. A ramshackle building on the property was rehabilitated and turned into a visitors' and environmental center. A horticultural center was added in 2002 that contains meeting rooms, classrooms, and a gift shop and an addition to the Rath Environmental Center was completed in 2005.[4][5] {{clear}}Awards
