‪The Allen Centennial Gardens at 620 Babcock Drive in Madison didn't exist the first time I visited the University of Wisconsin campus in 1959. In fact, groundbreaking for the public garden didn't take place until 1985 and wasn't completed until 1989. But the house was there, the Agricultural Dean's House, a brick Queen Anne-style home that was built in 1896 and was the home of the first four deans of the university's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. In 1984, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house, which now overlooks the garden, was designed for William Arnon Henry, the first dean of the College of Agriculture. Henry was such an outstanding administrator that other universities attempted to lure him away from Wisconsin. To placate him, Wisconsin offered Henry a salary increase, vacation time and an $8,000 appropriation for a new house, then another $2,000 to seal the deal. Henry was dean of the school from 1887 to 1907. The Allen Centennial Gardens were funded by a gift from Ethel Allen, the widow of bacteriologist Oscar Allen, and commemorated the 100th anniversary of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.‬

‪This is a hidden gem on campus. We enjoy walking around and viewing the manicured garden. The flowers are beautiful - spring, summer and fall. Great place for wedding and graduation pictures!‬

‪Wow. This is not someplace that you’d just happen upon unless maybe you’re wandering through the UW campus, and even then it would be easy to miss. But it’s worth finding. Not as big as Olbrich but with an amazing variety of plants and different types of gardens. Very well done. Great oasis in the middle of an urban campus. ‬

‪Located near the Lakeshore dorms and the Steenbock Library at the corner of Babcock and Observatory Drive is the always lovely Allen Centennial Garden. The garden architects have packed a lot into a small space to create a sensory stimulating treat. The plants are labeled and other brief signs provide further explanation. If you plan to spend a few minutes or a couple of hours you will feel refreshed as you leave. ‬

‪This fine garden (actually a composite of half-a-dozen different garden types: Japanese, English, rock, woodland, etc.) wraps around the beautiful 10,000 square foot Queen Anne style house that was the residence of the first four deans of UW's agriculture school (today it is used for office space).

The garden is carefully maintained - on our visit, there were no less than half-a-dozen gardeners at work on the grounds - and always looks magnificent. For the botanist fans, each different type of plant is marked, while most people will just enjoy strolling the grounds and perhaps sitting in one of the little seating areas scattered around. If you get tired of looking at plants, you can watch the fish in the koi ponds (they tend to school together when you get close, probably waiting for a handout).‬

‪I've taken my classes there to see the hundreds of species that are present there. You can see the rock garden, a vegetable garden, and several other annual and perennial displays. It's also a nice spot to take a lunch break!‬

‪When thinking of gardens in Madison, one's mind jumps to Arboretum or Olbrich. Of course Allen Centennial is not a match to the big boys in size, but a combination of historic building (Agricultural Dean's House), plants and art (like Hortisculpture) is certainly worthy a visit if you're near campus. Parking on the street is pretty limited, but there is a new parking structure nearby.‬

‪My visit to the Allen Centennial Garden was made in early October. The garden was still full of color and texture, despite the cooler temperatures. This little gem is located on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The hustle and bustle of campus life seems to disappear the moment you step past the wrought iron gate.

Admission to the garden is free. Street parking is hard to find, but a parking lot, a few yards away and across from the tennis courts, has a nominal $2.00 fee.

Themed gardens include an English, Japanese, French, Italian, shade, edible, pond, and Victorian garden. A printed map is available to guide your visit.

This is a definite must to visit. A slow stroll through the grounds can be accomplished in under a half hour.

‪Beautiful garden that is well kept up. It is amazing how many different plants they can get into this small, but, MUST see garden! They change it up every year.‬

‪This garden is right on the grounds of the university of Wisconsin. We were there in July when everything was in full bloom.Because I like to take photos, we spent about an hour here.‬
