Naples Botanical Garden is located in Naples, Florida. Believe it or not, this 170 acre site once used to be a strip mall. In 1993, eight Naples residents with a dream of creating a world class botanical garden, transformed it into seventy acres of beautiful tropical gardens. These include a Children's Garden, Brazilian Garden, Caribbean Garden, Florida Garden, and Asian Garden.
There are also 90 acres of beautifully restored natural habitat. Visitors will enjoy orchids, palm trees, and fruit trees, along with two lakes and a large wetland.
The gardens are open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is $14.95 for adults and $9.95 for children.
Sounds so good. I would so enjoy visiting this garden. I'm adding to my list of gardens to visit.
