Just two miles from downtown is Naples Botanical Garden, 170 acres teeming with vibrant beauty, rare and endangered tropical plants, and enriching events for visitors of all ages.

Explore the plants and cultures of Asia, Brazil, the Caribbean, and Florida along our cultivated pathways; or step out onto the preserve’s paved lakeside trails, offering a glimpse into the potential of restored native Florida landscape.

During the 2022–2023 season, guests to the Garden may also immerse themselves in their seasonal theme, Mexico: A Celebration of Plants & Culture, which highlights one of the most biodiverse places on Earth and celebrates cultural connections to the natural world.

The season features major art exhibitions — including a botanical homage to artist Frida Kahlo — plus new festivals and the return of annual favorites for the whole family, such as Johnsonville Night Lights in the Garden, running annually late November through early January.

With family and adult educational programming and daily in-person and audio tours, the opportunities for exploration in the Garden abound, with something new to experience every visit.
