Welcome to the Rose Garden Pavilion Capital Campaign, where we invite you to join us in expanding Mr. and Mrs. Hershey’s vision of education and horticulture.
A Legacy of Education and Horticulture
The new 3,300-square-foot Rose Garden Pavilion will replace the current seasonal tent on the east end of the Milton & Catherine Conservatory.
This new structure, opening in Fall 2026, will proudly mirror the same beauty and elegance as the Conservatory. It will host a range of school groups, educational programs and expanded flower shows. It will also feature a beautiful terrace, where guests can take in the beauty of Mr. Hershey’s original rose garden.
A Tribute to The Original Rose Garden
Hershey Rose Garden was created in 1936 with Mr. Hershey’s request to create “a nice garden of roses.” This historic garden, which still features thousands of roses, will provide a stunning view for the new Rose Garden Pavilion.
