Home to the largest public display of tropical bonsai trees in the world, Heathcote Botanical Gardens feature an outstanding assortment of specialty gardens, ranging from an immaculate Japanese Garden and Tropical Rainforest Display, to a Native Plants Garden and a Palm & Cycad Walk.

Located in Fort Pierce on the southeast coast of Florida, the gardens are home to native flora from Florida, as well as exotic species from across the globe, which are able to flourish in the semi-tropical environment. Specialty gardens are interspersed with enclaves of microclimates, which boast a variety of plants from Mediterranean climates to the Tropics.

The gardens can be enjoyed on self-walking explorations or on guided tours with expert botanists, and there are a range of educational programs and workshops that are held in the gardens, such as Floral Arranging, Butterfly Gardening, and Decorative Crafting.
