Mounts Botanical Garden

Garden lovers will be thrilled to learn there are several botanical gardens in the Palm Beach area. I researched them all before selecting Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County located in West Palm Beach, FL on North Military Trail across from the Palm Beach International Airport. It was an excellent choice! We spent a full day exploring & playing in Mounts incredible gardens.

​Adult admission is $10 per person for non-members with plenty of free parking onsite. The experience was worth 10x the price! 

Advertised as a 14 acre living plant museum, Mounts offers 25 unique garden areas to explore at your leisure. Multiple pathways branch off from the main trail leading guests to spacious, well-planned gardens. Quite often we found ourselves wandering through secluded garden "rooms" all alone. No doubt this is part of Mounts' grand design to create a highly personal interactive experience for each guest.

Windows on the Floating World

The Windows of the Floating World is a truly unique garden. Access to the (now submerged) metal platforms was temporarily suspended due to high water levels from recent rains. We were still able to get pretty close & enjoy the garden from several angles. Although partially closed, it was one of our favorite areas. That says a lot about how fabulous Windows on the Floating world really is.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus

I had no idea such a tree existed until I saw it on the internet a few years ago. It was so beautifully colored I had doubts it was real. After Google confirmed its existence, I added the Rainbow Eucalyptus to my bucket list of things to seek out in this world. You can imagine my excitement when I discovered one in Mounts garden. It was a huge specimen too. So awesome!
