Lonely Planet review for Marie Selby Botanical Gardens
This 9-acre, indoor–outdoor botanical oasis specializes in orchids (more than 6000 of them) but also has quite a selection of other botanicals. There’s a hibiscus garden, cacti and succulent garden, a tropical house, bromeliad display, bamboo pavilion, koi pond, butterfly and waterfall gardens and tropical food gardens, where everything’s edible. There’s also a mangrove walkway. All in all, it’s a great place to sit quietly and soak in the peaceful ambience.
