In 1993 a Master Gardener’s class in Daviess County, Kentucky dreamed of creating a botanical garden. In pursuit of this dream, Dr. and Mrs. William Tyler donated approximately 8.5 acres to the City of Owensboro and the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden was born! Under the guidance of the Board of Directors and the many local horticultural professionals and enthusiasts listed below, The Garden has become a center for the growth and display of hundreds of outstanding plant selections as well as a beautiful location for social gatherings, weddings, receptions and meetings. We are truly a unique gem in Western Kentucky thanks to the tireless efforts of these individuals. Thank you for all you do for The Garden and for our community!
