Details
Wander through the archway and through a dense grove of palms out to a tropical fruit arboretum, with views across the placid pond. Benches provide places to sit and watch coots and herons reflected against the aquatic vegetation.
The gardens offer both indoor and outdoor settings for events, as well as a small picnic area, restrooms, and playground.
