About the Gardens To See Website

Gardens To See is a fan site and directory of beautiful gardens around the world to visit. The goal is to provide accurate information and travel/tourist news about public gardens in one convenient location. Brides-to-be may also find the site useful for tracking down information on possible gardens to use for wedding ceremonies and receptions.

The site is currently updated on a part-time basis by volunteers. Much of the information and photos on the site have been submitted by actual visitors to the gardens in the reference. If you are willing to help by contributing pictures of your favorite garden or travel stories and tips, please contact us. We will try to give credit for photos on the site where we can. Please view our copyright policy for additional information.

If you are the curator or director of a public garden that is not listed and would like us to include you in the reference, please let us know. Although the listings continue to grow, it is very possible we have simply missed entering the garden you are associated with - even if it is a very popular one!

If you are interested in advertising on the site, please contact us with your proposal.

Thank You!
