It is second on my list of Florida gardens, bested only by Fairchild Tropical Gardens in Miami. Liz and I try to make the trip to Sarasota at least twice a year. Do you plan to make the reopening of the Naples Bot. garden after their refurbishment?<br />ScottScott & Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994978514343375056noreply@blogger.com
