Caribbean Gardens

The Caribbean Gardens are located in Naples, Florida as part of the Naples Botanical Garden complex.  They are one of the oldest tropical gardens in the United States.  They cover 52 acres and features a mile-long path of tropical plants and trees.    The purpose of the garden is to recreate a Caribbean island paradise. 


The gardens are open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.  Admission is $12.95 for adults and $7.95 for children.

    Looks like a nice garden to visit. It's been years since I've been to Florida.

    I must show my husband this blog. We can definitely find some new places to go. With the economy as tight as it is, having a weekend trip a couple of times a year to visit a botanic garden somewhere sounds like it might help us keep on track. :-)
    Kind thanks for visiting KHEL 666.

    Jammin' mon. Looks lovely. I've been to Naples but only the beach. Had no idea these gardens were there. Now an excuse to return.

    Hi Sherry,

    I would love to go to those gardens. I wonder if there's some Caribbean plants that they grow on Jamaica :)

    Now I have another excuse to visit family in Naples.
    However, I never saw anything like this in Barbados!
