Jasmine Hill Gardens (20 acres) is a botanical garden located on U. S. Route 231 near Wetumpka, Alabama, north of Montgomery. They are open to the public most days of the week; an admission fee is charged. Jasmine Hill was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on July 21, 1977.

The gardens were established in the early 1930s by Benjamin and Mary Fitzpatrick. They now feature a collection of nearly 40 pieces of Greek statuary, both original and copies. The site includes a reproduction of the ruins of the Temple of Hera at Olympia, Greece, and a separate restored temple facade at the museum entrance, as it would have appeared in ancient times. Other attractions include fountains, stairways, and hedges.
