Fantastic place to spend a day strolling through beautifully maintained and well manicured gardens.
Get a feel of tropical and sub tropical plants from around the world.
Very rare and unique species thrive here amongst our native palms, hammocks of live oaks and water ways.

A sister garden to Kew Gardens in Britain and a must for the European traveler.
Coming in Fall of 2012 - an orchid and butterfly house complete with hummingbirds!

Saturday and Sundays often host numerous festivals from farmers market to orchid shows and palm/fern/bromeliad and other flowering plant sales...many collectors items!

      I took that photo last Sunday. We are members and regular visitors to the garden which is up the road from our house.
      Thanks!
