You can scroll down the list or click on the map to jump to the listing
for a particular state (if nothing happens when you click on a state there are no gardens
listed for that state). For listings by state and
addresses (but few links) see Botanique
For an extensive listing of public and private gardens (including parks, historic homes with restored gardens, botanical preserves, nurseries, museums and other places of interest that incorporate some type of gardens), see I Love Gardens.com.
The Perennial Plant Association maintains a page of links called A Guide to Herbaceous Perennial Gardens in the United States and Canada that identifies demonstration/display gardens accessible to the public where people can learn more about herbaceous perennial plants.
