Established in 1927, Flamingo Gardens is one of the oldest botanical gardens and attractions in South Florida. Originally founded by Floyd L. and Jane Wray as an orange grove, the nonprofit botanical gardens is home to 15 “Champion” trees, the largest trees of their species in Florida. Specialized botanical gardens include some of the largest collections of naturalized orchids, cycads, and heliconias & gingers in the contiguous United States and over 3,000 species of rare & exotic, tropical, subtropical, and native plants and trees. Flamingo Gardens’ Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary is a home to permanently injured or non-releasable Florida native wildlife including alligators, bobcats, eagles, otters, panthers, peacock, and of course, flamingos!
Flamingo Gardens’ botanical gardens are 60 acres of tropical paradise. Our botanical gardens are a showcase for more than 3,000 species of rare and exotic, tropical, subtropical, and native plants. Our arboretum contains some of the largest trees in the state of Florida. Flamingo Gardens is part of Long Key, a natural oak hammock once surrounded by the Everglades, and contains one of the last natural hardwood forests in South Florida which remains untouched much as it was when inhabited by the ancient Tequesta people.
The Gardens, a tropical oasis in South Florida, were originally the property of Floyd L. and Jane Wray, who in 1927 built a weekend home, citrus grove and laboratory on what was then the edge of the Everglades, where they started a botanical collection of rare and unusual tropical and subtropical exotics, fruit trees and specimens collected from around the world. The non-profit Floyd L. Wray Memorial Foundation was established to preserve the property and its gardens for future generations. The Wray Home is now a museum illustrating a country home in the early 1930s. Guided tours are provided daily.
