HORTULUS, which means "Little Garden" in Latin, was founded in 1930 by
Elizabeth Hyde Brownell and friends in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The purpose of Hortulus is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening and
creative design; to protect, restore and improve the quality of the environment
through education, programs and actions in the fields of conservation and civic improvement.

We host an annal flower show and support sustainable practices, while providing opportunities for
creativity and connection through Horticulture, Floral Design, Photography and Botanical Arts.
