The Greenwich Botanical Center is a small, volunteer-driven nonprofit based in Cos Cob, Connecticut, dedicated to promoting horticulture, conservation, and the arts through educational programs, outreach activities, and events. It offers a broad slate of learning opportunities, including workshops, trips, and lectures in horticulture, floral design, and conservation, accessible to all skill levels and eligible for continuing education credits for landscape architects and other professionals. Programs are taught by professionals recognized in their fields, and the center relies on community involvement to support its activities. Founded in 1957, the organization is housed in Montgomery Pinetum Park in Cos Cob and traces its lineage to the former Garden Education Center of Greenwich. The center positions itself as a local hub for nature education and cultural enrichment through horticulture, conservation, and the arts. In 2025, it participated in the Dazzling Dahlia Show and used a Dahlia Primer as a teaser for its upcoming Dahlia Show scheduled for September 20, signaling ongoing engagement with seasonal horticultural events.
