June 28 @ 9:00 am – 2:00 pm
Enjoy the Garden’s most fruitful season with this tasty festival! Many of the world’s favorite fruits have subtropical or tropical origins. Our climate in Southwest Florida is well-suited for growing these sweet treats, and at the Garden, you can find fruiting plants growing in nearly all of our designed landscapes.
Sample tropical fruits from around the world, discover fruiting plants grown in the Garden, watch live demonstrations, take a fruit-themed tour and shop our Garden-grown plant sale. Taco Tummy will have fresh gourmet paletas and tacos available for purchase, and Fernweh will be serving local fruit-inspired ice cream, 9am – 2pm, while supplies last.
*Due to the popularity of this event, we are temporarily pausing our Dogs in the Garden program on Sunday, June 29. The program will resume the following Tuesday. Visit this page for more details.
