The History of Hershey Gardens

Hershey Gardens opened in 1937 with Milton Hershey’s request to “create a nice garden of roses.” More than 85 years later, the small rose garden has blossomed into 23 acres of botanical beauty providing visitors with unique experiences and enriching opportunities.

We spoke with Amy Zeigler, Senior Director with the M.S. Hershey Foundation about Hershey’s Gardens history, the butterfly atrium, how the gardens are maintained, renovations taking place, and how you can get involved.
