The garden's board was established in 2001. As of Autumn 2006, the garden itself occupies a temporary site (the Ellipse Garden in Freedom Park, at 5535 Centerville Road) as its board attempts to secure a larger, permanent location.

The Ellipse Garden (2 acres) was dedicated in 2006. It contains more than 2,000 trees, shrubs, and other plantings in a butterfly garden, herb garden, native plant garden, perennial border, pinewoods and fernery, wetlands, and wildflower meadow.
