About
Faits rapides: More than 3,400 tropical plant species live across its 83 acres, from towering palms to tiny epiphytes clinging to trunks. Visitors can wander through themed collections including a rainforest canopy awning and an orchid house hosting hundreds of varieties.
Points forts: Volunteers slice golden mango flesh at tasting tables, filling the air with a humid, tropical perfume as more than 200 cultivars are sampled. A local tradition invites visitors to vote for a "People's Choice" champion, and growers travel from as far as Texas to present rare varieties like "Carrie" and "Glenn".
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight, breathable clothing, closed-toe shoes, and bring insect repellent for humid trails.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and sunscreen; water refill stations are located near the visitor center.
- Photographers should aim for golden hour at the Lakeside Garden and the Palm Grove for the best light.
- Avoid weekend midday crowds by visiting weekdays or late afternoon, and check the schedule for guided walks and plant sales.
