A Nice Garden Plus A Camellia Show!

We stopped by for a walk in the garden and stumbled into a Camellia show. The garden is about 47 acres and has a few walking trails, a pavilion, a lake and an amphitheater. There is also a camellia garden and a a wildflower garden....More

What a joke!

Not a single flower in bloom! No signs. Trails not marked. Everything overgrown. Boardwalk falling apart. We left when we saw the sign warning of poisonous snakes in area.

We walked through Mead Garden and it's so very peaceful. Restrooms are available along with picnic tables. Great place to chill or walk around. Surprised at how large the green space is for the location. There's also a community garden attached for people to rent...More

Very disappointing.

No maps. No signs.Paths not clear. Hence we found very little of interest and we did not stay long. Hardly a botanic garden.

Suburb Variety of Plants

This would be one the most peaceful / colorful part of your trip. It's well worth the admission. I would not recommend going after a Hurricane, since there's a lot of plant damage. This gives the plants to grow strong and be AWESOME for sight-seeing.

Nice for a stroll - smaller than expected

It was nice for 1/2 hour stroll on a sunny Sunday afternoon, but I had expected it to be a little bigger from looking at the maps. The boardwalk is lovely and peaceful.

Where I Wander...

A hidden gem, I almost do not want to write a review--it's the best kept secret in Winter Park! Grounds are well maintained and still the gardens represent a natural habitat. I like that the lawn isn't well-manicured which loans to its forestland-feel. Plenty of...More

Can I take a wedding photo shoot here? Not a wedding ceremony, just a photo shoot. Is there any rule or do I need to ask for permission before I go?

I think you can. There's a pretty trellis with pretty flowers around it. It's on the left side after you enter. Also has a little courtyard with some statues that would be nice:)
