Florida
means "flowery," and it lives up to its name. In a sense, Florida is the garden
of the country. And within that garden—which runs from temperate, with its spring
show of azaleas and dogwood, to the year-round lush profusion of the tropical—are
many splendid gardens just waiting for your visit. Organized by region, this guide
provides detailed information about featured species and garden facilities and
supplies helpful visitors' information such as directions, hours, and admission
fees. You will also find a complete calendar of Florida garden events and a listing
of where to see specific types of flora.
