These stunning gardens were originally designed and cultivated by the Garden Club in 1938 as 'demonstration gardens' to showcase tropical plants that suited the south Florida climate. This included a garden suitable for a Spanish-style house, a moonlight garden of white plants, plus Chinese, rose, and jungle gardens, and others with fountains and tropical fruit trees. A landscape architect was employed in the 1950s to bring the elements together, although the 2004 hurricanes destroyed much of the area.
The current club painstakingly reconstructed the gardens, which provide a lovely respite for locals and visitors.
