Visitors to this 20-acre tropical oasis will not only see an acclaimed collection of 25 display gardens containing more than 7,000 species of tropical and sub-tropical plants, including Florida native plants, but also an eclectic array of exotic and tropical fruit trees, ornamentals, herbs, palms, roses, cactus, succulents, bromeliads and more.

A permanent exhibit at Mounts reveals the mystery of the Rapa Nui moai, as three imposing 20-foot-tall statues stand sentry at the Garden as replicas of the iconic monolithic figures located on Rapa Nui, Easter Island, in Chile. The tribute is meant to inspire curiosity and to serve as a link to ancient history, art and culture.
