Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens

Abutting the Peace River, this 30-acre waterfront oasis encompasses the diversity of five ecosystems including marshlands, wetlands, mangroves, uplands, a tidal basin and an island amphitheater. Flowering trees and plants bloom throughout the year, and more than 15,000 sq. ft. of boardwalks and docks provide optimum viewing of the Garden's massive sculptures. A 50-million-year-old stone palm frond fossil serves as the inspiration for the Gardens' logo and signature sculpture -- STEEL PALM -- for these spectacular waterfront gardens, which will ultimately encompass 30 acres. The Gardens will integrate Florida's natural habitat, featured botanical collections, architectural ingenuity and contemporary interpretative art to offer one of the largest botanical and sculpture gardens in the State of Florida.
