Opened to the public in 1897, Elizabeth Park is a 101-acre horticultural park spread across both West Hartford and Hartford, Connecticut. It is called the “Flower of New England Parks” with Victorian formal gardens, verdant green spaces, walking trails, recreational spaces, the charming Pond House Cafe and, at the heart of the park - the magnificent rose garden.
The rose garden was open in 1904 as the first American public rose garden. The park was designed by Swiss-born landscape architect Theodore Wirth, who used his experiences in Paris and London to create a botanical garden with a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers.
