The Dow Gardens exist to preserve the history, enhance the horticultural beauty and share the educational and leisure time opportunities of the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow estate.
The Dow Gardens were started in 1899 by Herbert Dow, founder of The Dow Chemical Company. The Gardens, originally developed on eight acres of flat, sandy land, provided a creative outlet for Herbert Dow’ and his interest in agriculture and design. He created gardens, ponds and hills according to a simple philosophy that we still follow to this day: “never reveal the gardens’ whole beauty at first glance.”
