Connecticut is home to fifteen public historic gardens, many designed by notable horticulturists from around the turn of the twentieth century including the Olmstead Brothers, Gertrude Jekyll, and Beatrix Farrand. Among the many noteworthy public gardens are Elizabeth Park Rose Garden, Gardens Hollister House Garden, and Bartlett Arboretum & Garden, just to name a few.
