History:
started with a dream in a Cypress swamp more than 70 years ago and grew into a landmark of grace and beauty recognized around the world. When Dick Pope Sr., started carving a garden out of a swamp, little did he realize he was creating one of the most famous gardens in the world. And 70 years later, it still stands as a vision of natural beauty. The original 35 acres is still guarded by the 70 year old Banyan tree, planted by Dick Pope Sr. himself. Both native and exotic plant species thrive in the gardens, placed in breathtaking displays. The famed gazebo still stands, banked by a vast expanse of emerald green lawn and huge beds of brightly colored annuals. And the beautiful belles still grace the grounds.
