    Experience the Magic

Naples Botanical Garden: A Living Canvas, our seasonal theme, invites you to explore the Garden as a dynamic work of art. From container-sized vignettes to entire landscapes, you can explore how we put plants together for form and function. What you see in the ground in the Garden is not accidental; it is a result of careful curation and deliberate thought. With this theme, we’ll pull back the curtain on our creative and scientific processes.
