Jasmine Hill Gardens (20 acres) is a botanical garden located on U. S. Route 231 near Wetumpka, Alabama, north of Montgomery. They are open to the public most days of the week; an admission fee is charged. Jasmine Hill was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on July 21, 1977.[1]
The gardens were established in the early 1930s by Benjamin and Mary Fitzpatrick. They 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 temple facade at the museum entrance, as it would have appeared in ancient times. Other attractions include fountains, stairways, and hedges.
