Top Three Most Famous Gardens and Parks in Orlando

By: Mark Whichard

 

Orlando Florida is not just a place of pristine beaches and exquisite foods; it also has the most beautiful gardens and parks in the world. So, either you want to have enjoyable experience in the beaches or bury yourself in the abyss of the natural beauties of the gardens, you will still have the best times of your life. Do you think you can find gardens and parks like the ones I will include here elsewhere? No. Orlando is the only place where you can have the serenity you want and peace of mind. Here are the Orlando's three top gardens and parks;

 

#1. Harry P. Leu Gardens

 

With three miles of paved walkways, there are lots of beautiful exhibits and different species of plants you will be able to witness before you reach the end of the garden. It is in this garden that you'll see the America's largest collection of Camellia outside California. This is actually one of the features of the Harry P. Leu Gardens that could really amaze travelers, nature lovers and spectators. Other features include the following;

 

  • 3 Acres Idea Gardens - this is the place you can bring your weekend home works and stay whole day doing it. The reason why it is called "Idea Gardens" is because it is quiet and peaceful that anyone can really appreciate.
  • Formal Rose Garden - it is not just any rose garden you often see; it is the largest in Florida.
  • 2 Acres Tropical Stream Garden - almost all of tropical plants or those which can survive in tropical lands can be found here.
  • Butterfly Garden - it is a fragile yet colorful place because of different species of butterflies which are delicately raised.
  • Vegetable and Herb Garden - the fragrances of different herbs and vegetables can be experienced here.

 

Harry P. Leu Gardens is worth every second of your time. So, whenever you are in the place, savor every second of your stay. And hey, don't forget your camera!

 

#2. Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

 

This festival lasts 75 days so you have more than two months to enjoy if it happens that you are in Florida when it started. This year, Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival started on March 3, which is pretty early compared with the previous years, thus, it will run up to May 16. This is the 17th Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival so you can expect to have a lot of fun as there are new activities added each year.

 

If you are fond of taking pictures, this festival will give you every view you want to capture. Although, the main theme would be flowers, you will be amazed with the designs and creativity. Aside from that, the Flower Power Concerts will bring back memories of 60's and 70's through retro songs. But one thing you should know is that there will be a lot of people watching every show.

 

#3. Kraft Azalea Gardens

 

 if you are looking for a place to enjoy and retreat, Kraft Azalea Gardens is just a perfect place for you. Just in case you are wondering where it is located, it is in the heart of Winter Park. So, you will never go astray while having some good time.

 

The peaceful ambience of the place could be one of the things that can help you think better. Simply sit down in one of the benches and take out your favorite book; you can stay all day without getting bored as you will be greeted by tropical plants and great fragrances of azalea lined up in the pathways. This could also be a perfect place for your family; having a picnic lunch would be such a good idea whenever you are in Kraft Azalea Gardens.

 

Gardens and parks can also be some good places to spend some time especially when you are in Orlando. In fact, family gatherings and parties are oftentimes held in these gardens or at any public parks. The local government of Orlando is very particular in making the place to be one of the most beautiful places in the world to attract more and more tourists and travelers. Therefore, you can assure every single place in Orlando is well-maintained, clean and beautiful.
