Mounts Botanical Garden
The oldest and largest botanical garden in Palm Beach County, with tropical fruit trees, a butterfly garden, and an elevated 'floating boardwalk' over water.
The Mounts Botanical Garden covers about 14 acres and holds more than 2,000 tropical and subtropical plant species, including tropical fruit trees, palms, orchids, medicinal herbs, and native Florida plants. It also has a butterfly garden. The elevated boardwalk called 'Windows on the Floating World' crosses a wetland area of aquatic plants and is a distinctive feature. It is generally open Tuesday to Sunday, roughly from 10:00 to 16:00, and admission is about $15. It is near West Palm Beach Airport, beside Southern Military Trail, and suits visitors who enjoy gardening and photographing flowers.
