Review & FAQ:
The Florida Tech Botanical Gardens boast an “old Florida” garden style containing over 200 bamboos, palms, and other common and rare botanical specimens. Located in the heart of the college, the gardens feature a serene stream surrounded by a leafy hammock of palm trees, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. There is one main paved trail aptly named Dent Smith Trail in honor of the founder of the Palm Society. This trail takes visitors on a discovery quest throughout the visually striking gardens. Self-guided tours begin at Melbourne’s original school house where visitors receive a map of the area highlighting its most prominent aspects like Silk Floss trees, Green Bamboos, and African Oil Palms.
