Rotary Botanical Gardens is a 20-acre nonprofit botanical showcase in Janesville, Wisconsin, built on the site of a former sand and gravel quarry that a group of Janesville Rotary Clubs transformed into an internationally themed garden beginning in 1988. Today the Gardens hold more than 4,000 plant varieties across a series of distinct themed spaces, and are recognized among the Top 20 Best Public Gardens in America and home to one of the Top 25 Japanese Gardens in North America.
The Gardens host weddings, corporate meetings, and community gatherings across both outdoor and indoor settings. Outdoor ceremonies and receptions take place in dedicated Wedding Gardens from mid-May through mid-October, ranging from larger settings like the French Formal Rose Garden, Sunken Garden, and Gazebo Garden to more intimate spaces such as the North Point, Reception, and Wellness Gardens. For year-round indoor events, the Parker Education Center and Atrium offer a slate-tiled reception hall and patio terrace for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and dinner.
Rotary Botanical Gardens is an LGBTQ+ inclusive and welcoming venue, and couples and hosts are free to select their own caterer for events held on the grounds.
