Garden Overview

The fountain, rose garden, and artistic hardscape are typical elements of English gardens. Walking past the garden, you will enter the Maritime Hammock, which has been left undeveloped to give visitors a view of “Old Florida”, as you pass an ancient Indian midden along trails leading to an elevated boardwalk over the marsh.

An archaeological survey completed in 2007 showed that what appears to be a dune is actually an Indian midden extending across the length of the property near its entrance. Four natural communities are found within the park: shell mound, maritime hammock, salt marsh and mangrove swamp. A variety of native plants thrive here including coontie, palmettos, leather ferns, beauty berry, goldenrod, cedars, oaks and mangroves.
