Kanapaha Botanical Gardens
There is one significant botanical garden in northeast Florida and the Panhandle, and it's called the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, south of Gainesville, Florida. A pleasant and wheelchair accessible one and a half mile walk provides access to the 14 main collections spread out over the gardens 62 acres. Feel free to bring your pets along on the walk and enjoy a picnic lunch in the designated areas. Save some time for the nursery, where you can purchase some of the featured plants to take home, depending, of course on where home is.
The name Kanapaha is a tribute to the original inhabitants of the area, the Timucua Indians and is the name of the nearby lake.
