The First Annual Food Fest and Member Give Back Day on Saturday, April 28th was a huge success!

We had 573 visitors, sold 19 memberships and collected several large bins of food for St. Matthew's House.

The food trucks were a hit, and the live musical performance by The Wholetones was amazing. Also, Garden Staff Member Taylor Walker's fruit display was awesome!

The Garden would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone that participated and helped make this day a success.

 See you next year!

Recently, amidst the hectic approach to our Annual Flower Show, Dr. George Wilder delivered a  overview of a category of plants that people don't frequently include in arrangements or showings, but that are remarkable and beautiful in their own way - Weeds.

Dr. Wilder collects weeds from all over, but has found some remarkable ones right here in the Garden!

Read on to learn more about his collections of weeds from the Garden and his thoughts ons som of the more interesting and rare finds...

In February 2012, we put the finishing touches on the Kristin Foster Succulent Garden. The newest addition to the Naples Botanical Garden features succulent plants from around the world.

So what do we mean by "succulent"?

A succulent by definition, is any plant that has a specialized growth for storing or conserving water. In general these are plants adapted for growing in arid climates or arid-like condition like the crevises of rocks with little to no soil or even a part of your garden that does't get watered. Succulent plants often have some combination of spines, thick fleshy leaves or swollen trunks. These adaptations help them live through harsh climates and conditions with little to no rain fall.
