Hahn Horticulture Garden

The Peggy Lee Hahn Horticulture Garden (7 acres), formerly the Virginia Tech Horticulture Garden, is a horticulture garden located on the Virginia Tech campus on Washington Street SW, Blacksburg, Virginia. It is open daily without charge.

The garden was established in 1984, and renamed in 2004 to honor Mrs. Hahn and her husband, T. Marshall Hahn, former president of Virginia Tech (1962-1974). All features have been built and planted by students, staff, faculty, and volunteers.

Today the garden is used by students in the horticulture, landscape architecture, urban forestry, and entomology undergraduate programs. Garden features include:

* Dwarf Conifer Display

* Perennial Border— More than 90 species and cultivars.

* Pond — Japanese maples with beds of tender annuals.

* Shade Beds — natives and unusual woody plants from Asia and Europe.

* Steam Garden — over 20 species of bog and aquatic plants.

* Trident Maple Allee — Maples underplanted with perennials and annuals.

* Wisteria Arbor — wisteria and climbing hydrangea.
