Historical Gardens

This map shows you the locations of gardens and parks in North America. The links below the map shows which gardens are on it. Clicking on the rectangular green area directs you to new maps to get a closer look at the more ‘densely gardenised’ areas (or remote areas like Hawai’i). Click the locators on the map(s) to receive information and links with more information and images of the specific site.
All images you may find there are courtesy of the people who have joined and participate in the Historical Gardens group on flickr, where photos of historical gardens and parks are gathered. Please be aware that normal copyright restrictions are in place, unless specifically stated otherwise. These restrictions may vary from picture to picture.
You can add photographs of your own to the pool, but you will need to get yourselves a flickr account if you want to do that. Please do. You are invited to share.
