Florida Botanical Gardens Largo Florida

We were particularly captivated by the rare rainbow eucalyptus tree!! The spooky carved faces in the trees and the stunning canopy of branches arching over the boardwalk. There were numerous unique areas to explore, including a succulent garden, each so distinct that it was hard to believe they were all part of the same park.

The park’s thoughtful design makes it accessible for both able-bodied and differently-abled individuals. The pathways are smooth, with no steep inclines, and there’s beauty around every corner.

The artwork throughout the park is mesmerizing, sparking curiosity about the stories behind it. You can’t help but wonder what the gardens were like before they became the thriving space they are today.

Parking was more than adequate, with plenty of spots for those with permits, and the walk through the park felt like miles of endless gardens. At every turn, we discovered something new—from a natural piano to a telescope that offered even more ways to interact with the environment.

In October, the park extends its hours into the night, offering additional activities and the chance to wander beneath illuminated trees and a canopy of lights. We look forward to returning and updating this blog with our experiences.

This park will definitely be a highlight of our October trip, especially as we plan to explore the area further for a land purchase.

Enjoy the scenery—we certainly did.
