Naples Botanical Garden is proud to announce one of our most ambitious projects yet: the Evenstad Horticulture Campus. The completed project will feature state-of-the-art greenhouses, shadehouses, a potting area, nurseries, and recycling center. Included in the design of the Horticulture Campus is a new building complex with offices and storage space for the equipment used to tend the Garden’s 170 acres.
Located on the southeast side of the Garden, the Horticulture Campus will support our mission by allowing staff to care for current display gardens, restore and grow living collections, collect and exchange seeds and cuttings with colleagues around the world, expand conservation leadership with gardens through the Caribbean, continue to evolve as a teaching campus, and build community partners in Collier and Lee counties.
