Harry P. Leu Gardens

Orlando may be known for its amusement parks and bustling crowds, but there is more to this city than meets the eye. If you take a moment to step away from the hustle and bustle, you’ll discover a serene oasis called Harry P. Leu Gardens. Located just 4 miles northeast of the city center, this botanical paradise spans an impressive 50 acres. As you wander through the gardens, you’ll be greeted by a colorful display of plants such as camellias, roses, and azaleas. In addition to the natural beauty, the gardens offer horticulture classes, both permanent and rotating art exhibits, a botany reference library, and even a restored 19th-century home. It’s a perfect place to escape the city and immerse yourself in nature’s wonders.

The Butterfly Garden is a pleasant alternative to the hustle and bustle of park activities. It’s worth a visit even outside of peak bloom season, as recent visitors have attested. Families with children will particularly appreciate the garden’s attractions. Both permanent and visiting exhibits enhance the serene atmosphere, making it even more enjoyable for everyone.
