An Oasis in the City

Known as the "Jewel of Providence," the award-winning Roger Williams Park attracts more than 3.5 million visitors per year. Cited by the national trust for Historic Preservation as one of America's premier historic urban parks, Roger Williams park enters the new century with plans to build another world-class attraction.

Among lavish trees, stunning rose gardens, rolling hills and emerald lakes, the Roger Williams Park Botanical Gardens will be the first of its kind here in Rhode Island and one of only a few in the region. The exquisitely designed Gardens will be a superior facility with its focal point being a multi-level glass and steel conservatory, rising from a complex of visitor and education facilities.

The Botanical Gardens will provide horticultural education to people of all ages and prove to be a beautiful retreat and year round visitor attraction. The Botanical Gardens appeal on many levels to the environmentally-minded, lovers of the exotic, beauty seekers and avid gardeners.
