Exploring SW Florida: Naples Botanical Gardens

The blue skies and warm breezes of sunny SW Florida are no secret. Our waters are ideal for sport fishing, our beaches plentiful for shell hunting, and our 400 hundred miles of canals invite kayakers to glide through them while admiring the backyards they beautify.

Did you know we offer a paradise for gardeners as well? Seated comfortably in Hardiness Zone 10a, we can grow almost anything! From strawberries to orchids, our gardens are overflowing with lush greenery, brilliant flowers, and delicious fruit. And nowhere is that more on display than the Naples Botanical Garden.

Founded by local plant enthusiasts in 1993, the Naples Botanical Garden sits only a few miles from downtown Naples and stretches over 170 acres. You'll find an orchid garden, a succulent garden, and a rich Caribbean garden. There is a calming water garden that hosts live music and a 90 acre preserve that attracts more than 200 bird species.

But why take my word for it? Come and see the gardens for yourself! And when you fall in love (which you will) call me - I'd love to help you find your own little piece of paradise.
