Ravine State Gardens is a 59 acre park located in Palatka, Florida. It's listed on the National Registry of Historic places. The comes from the ravine that was created there by the flow of water from the St. John's River thousands of years ago. In 1933, it was transformed into a garden by the federal Worlds Progress administration. About five acres of the property are formal gardens with stone terraces and water features. The best time to see it is from late January to April, when the azaleas are in bloom.
The gardens are open daily from 8:00 AM to sundown. Cost of admission is $5.00 per vehicle.

Natural ravine - bet that adds to the beauty of the garden.
ReplyDeleteI wondered how far south azaleas grew. There is a big festival here in April near Wilmington.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry - it'd be amazing at this time of year when the azaleas are blooming - gorgeous colours ... thanks for sharing Ravine Gardens with us - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a ravine. Amazing what water carves from the land. And tons of azaleas are an added bonus. Nice! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome place to visit. Thanks for the post. Hope you're doing well Sherry!

Making blog rounds and waving hello. It's almost warm enough to get out and enjoy gardens again. Though we're still having frost at night, we're getting there.
