Green Bay Botanical Garden connects people with plants by providing year-round educational and recreational experiences for everyone in an environment that engages, inspires, and refreshes.
Green Bay Botanical Garden will be the leading educational, recreational, social, and horticultural destination enriching the quality of life in the upper Midwest.
Green Bay Botanical Garden welcomes more than 183,000 visitors on average every year.
We’re located on 47 acres of a historic Green Bay apple orchard with about half currently developed into 33 specialty gardens.
We have more than 101,000 perennial plants, 27,000 annual plants, and 4,300 species and cultivars.
Popular annual fundraising events include WPS Garden of Lights, Grand Concert Series, Sanimax Concert Series, and more.

The land on which the Garden is located is made available to the organization through a long-term lease from NWTC. The Garden and its board are legally independent of NWTC, but the two organizations mutually benefit from the relationship.
NWTC students and staff enjoy free general admission to the Garden, and their staff utilizes the Garden for meetings and events. Students in programs from Photography and Early Childhood Education to Sustainable Agriculture and Security utilize the Garden as a living laboratory. A portion of our general admission revenue helps to support student scholarships too.
The college also prints a majority of the Garden’s marketing materials throughout the year.
