Pan's Garden

Florida's first all-native botanical garden was established in 1994 by the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach. The half acre garden designed by Sanchez & Maddux consists exclusively of native trees, shrubs, grasses and wild flowers, many of which are endangered. These are incorporated into upland and wetland areas designed to display their naturally occurring relationships to one another.
