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.
