Jasmine Hill Gardens (20 acres) are botanical gardens located on U. S. Route 231 near Wetumpka, Alabama, north of Montgomery, Alabama. The gardens are open to the public most days of the week; an admission fee is charged. (At present the gardens may be temporarily closed.)
The gardens were established in the early 1930s, by Benjamin and Mary Fitzpatrick, and now feature a collection of nearly 40 pieces of Greek statuary, both original and copies. The site includes a reproduction of the ruins of the Temple of Hera at Olympia, Greece, and a separate restored facade as the temple entrance would have appeared in ancient times. Other attractions include fountains, stairways, and hedges.
