A Journey of Vision and Cultivation

Born into a family of horticulturists, Mark Stattelman inherited a deep love for the natural world. After studying landscape architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design, Stattelman embarked on a journey that would forever transform a forgotten piece of land into the botanical masterpiece that Rohmer Garden is today.

A Symphony of Plants and Colors

Over the course of decades, Stattelman meticulously curated a collection of over 10,000 plant species, each hand-picked for its unique beauty, texture, and bloom time. From towering trees to delicate wildflowers, every specimen contributes to the garden's vibrant tapestry of colors and textures.

Gardens within Gardens

Rohmer Garden is not a single entity but a complex tapestry of specialized gardens, each with its own distinct character and atmosphere. Visitors can wander through the Mediterranean Garden, where olive trees and fragrant herbs evoke the charm of Tuscany; the Japanese Garden, where serene ponds and rock formations create a tranquil Zen-like ambiance; and the Woodland Garden, where native ferns and wildflowers thrive beneath the canopy of towering oaks.

Art and Nature Intertwined

Stattelman's passion for art extended beyond the boundaries of horticulture. Throughout Rohmer Garden, visitors will encounter sculptures and installations by renowned artists such as Kiki Smith and Tony Smith, seamlessly integrated into the natural surroundings. The garden becomes a living canvas where art and nature intertwine, enhancing each other's beauty and meaning.

A Place of Education and Inspiration

Beyond its aesthetic beauty, Rohmer Garden is also a place of education and botanical research. Stattelman established the Rohmer Arboretum to foster the study and preservation of rare and endangered plant species. The garden's extensive library and herbarium serve as valuable resources for students, researchers, and plant enthusiasts alike.

A Legacy to the Future

In 2014, Rohmer Garden officially became a non-profit organization, ensuring its preservation and continued legacy. Today, visitors from around the world flock to this horticultural paradise, seeking inspiration, beauty, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Rohmer Garden stands as a testament to the vision, passion, and artistry of its creator, Mark Stattelman. It is a living work of art that invites visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and the boundless possibilities of horticultural creativity. As visitors leave the garden, they carry with them not only memories of its splendor but also a renewed appreciation for the transformative power of plants and the human spirit.
