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

One of the most peaceful places on earth

For a free garden and museum this place is not to be missed. Theodore Mead was a leading american botanist and naturalist who moved to Florida. The garden themselves are quite large and took us a few hours to explore, with an extraordinary rose garden,...More

Beautiful, Natural Spot

We love to go to Mead Gardens, a rare, somewhat rustic gardens. The city is getting rid of non-natural plants, the volunteers are adding flowers, plants, trails, etc, and the owls are raising a young ‘in! Less formal and man-made than many gardens and not...More

Not a big stop.

Went here thinking it was more of a botanical garden, but there weren't as many trails as I thought there would be. Honestly a bit disappointing, but a great place for families & picnicking. As someone from out of town, I was just expecting a...More

The city of Winter Park is one of the nicer cities in Central Florida, so it is surprising to see a park like Mead Garden not reach its potential. The park is free to visit, and there are plenty of walking trails, but this park...More
