The Springfield Park District's Washington Park Botanical Garden provides a scene of tranquility and beauty, an oasis of nature, within an urban environment.

Visitors enjoy the color of annual and perennial flower beds, the fragrance of the Rose Garden, and the refreshing shade of our many evergreen and deciduous trees. Horticultural information is available in the form of guidebooks, handouts, interpretive labeling and a telephone consultation program. And, of course, there are the plant collections themselves—over 1,800 species of the rare and unusual, as well as "old favorites" displayed in new and exciting ways.
