We love this paradise in the middle of the city. You can come with your dog and have a lovely day and even make a picnic. We came last weekend to see the youth orchestra and it was such a magical environment to listen to Christmas carols outdoors.

Small and wild, it has so many varieties, a great place for green thumbs. Me has non but still enjoyed it.

Many volunteers are working there, who are friendly and talkative, even thanking us for feeding the mosquitos ha ha ha. Ops I only managed to kill one, unintentionally, as I was scratching my itchy leg.

This is an amazing place that is free to the public. It's hard to feel some connection with nature with the area getting so overdeveloped and Mead Gardens is a little sanctuary, especially with the large trees that offer some shade from the hot Florida sun. There are benches and adirondack chairs all over the place, which are great places to relax and take in the scenery. Definitely worth going to.
