Botanical Gardens

of old Florida flora and fauna far removed from the bustle of

perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll or an active tour. Operated

profit organization; members of the Friends are committed to
the growth and development of the PSL Botanical Gardens as
an educational and recreational destination in Port St. Lucie for
all residents and visitors.
The Gardens offer many free public events, such as plant sales,
lectures, art shows, and concerts on a regular basis. Both the
pavilion and Gardens are ideal venues for private celebrations
such as weddings and parties. Join the Ft. Pierce Jazz and Blues
Society concerts every other Wednesday evening or bring the
kiddies to our monthly Saturday morning Junior Gardener
