Nature Coast Botanical Gardens

Milkweed for the Monarchs

If you love gardening, or just want to get away from your daily stresses, then you will want to visit our Gardens. Located just off Spring Hill Drive near the US 19 entrance, the Nature Coast Botanical Gardens became a reality as a result of many volunteer hours from the Spring Hill Garden Club members, as well as other helpful community volunteers.

Since November 15, 1994, the club has transformed 3.5 acres into an oasis of beauty and serenity. During daylight hours, you can visit the gardens, enjoy
the beauty of nature and find tranquility in the middle of a suburban area.
Bring a snack or your lunch, sit at one of the picnic tables next to the waterfall.
The gardens host special events, including art and music events and special environmental programs. We encourage you to bring your children and grandchildren to these events.

The Botanical Gardens include 21 themed areas:
