Botanical Gardens
In 1993, a group of eight Naples residents founded the Garden with nothing more than the dream of creating a world-class botanical garden. In 2000, a gift from the Kapnick Family enabled the purchase of an extraordinary 170-acre site with seven different habitats just south of Old Naples. An existing strip mall and parking lot were transformed into a garden experience for the community.
Acres of gorgeous gardens, including an extensive palm collection, vine pergola, and garden/book shop. There are Tram tours available and an annual Ramble/plant sale every November.
"The only garden of its kind in the United States... Savor tropical and exotic fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs and nuts from around the world."
Botanical gardens which host a variety of plant sales & workshops.
