Montrose Botanic Gardens

History:

On a warm August evening in 1995, a large group of people responded to an ad in the local paper by attending a meeting to discuss the possibility of creating a botanic garden for the City of Montrose. From that first meeting, the Montrose Botanical Society was formed for the purpose of creating the Montrose Botanic Gardens. A fifty-year lease from the City provided three and one half acres for the gardens.
