Lose yourself in the iridescent Butterfly Garden where pink spot sulphurs and South American malachites flit among tropical fruit trees. Visit the adjacent Hummingbird Garden in winter and have your camera handy to snap the gorgeous ruby throated hummingbird.Wrap it all up with a tour of the Wray Home Museum. Built in 1933, this is a wonderful example of typical south-Florida architecture. Wray Family portraits, letters and other personal items give visitors an interesting snapshot of life in South Florida in the 1930s. As you step back into the sunshine, take a moment to appreciate the towering 200-year-old live oaks that surround the home.These wonderful gardens also stage events throughout the year including the Festival and Bonsai Show as well as the artistic Flamingo Fest.
