The Dow Gardens in Garden Supplies Directory
he 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’s 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.” Alden Dow, Herbert’s youngest son and an experienced architect, continued his fathers work on the Gardens. The family connection continued with the involvement of Herbert Dow’s grandson, Herbert Dow II.
