Pittsburgh Botanic Garden is a regional public garden and conservation organization based in Oakdale, Pennsylvania. It maintains 65 acres of cultivated gardens and woodlands and functions as a caretaker for 460 acres of land and water in southwest Pennsylvania, supporting environmental stewardship through projects such as mitigating acid mine drainage and reforestation alongside its horticultural displays and educational programs. The Garden serves a broad audience interested in plants, garden design, and the natural world, offering immersive experiences that connect visitors with the region’s Allegheny Plateau flora while fostering learning and community engagement.

Founded from the vision of local horticulturalists, the Garden opened to the public in 2015 after land was leased from Allegheny County, and it has since expanded its facilities, including a Welcome Center and Auto Garden that debuted in 2021. With ongoing partnerships and community events, it hosts educational programs and collaborative activities aimed at connecting people with plants and garden design in a tranquil, contemplative setting. The organization operates within the zoos and botanical gardens sector and relies on a regional audience, including memberships and daytime visitors, to support its conservation and cultivation initiatives.
