St. Johns Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve - St. Augustine's only Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve

The SJBGNP is more than just a pretty place to visit! Educational opportunities abound here. Once we open, and perhaps even a little before then, guided tours and programs will be available by contacting us several weeks in advance.

• ONE THIRD of the world’s vascular plant species face extinction due to a variety of human activities such as agricultural and forestry practices, urbanization, pollution, climate change, and more!
• WITH MISSIONS DEVOTED TO public education, study, research, and conservation, botanical gardens, and arboreta play an important role in saving the world’s plant species and making them known to the public.
• FLORIDIANS USE 2/3RDS OF THE WATER THEY CONSUME TO MAINTAIN THEIR LAWNS! This is not a sustainable use of this precious resource, and here at the SJBGNP, we maintain and research low water use plants in addition to potentially cold hardy tropical species that may survive here in North Florida.

At SJBGNP we offer day passes to enjoy the spectacular beauty for a day at a time. Want to join in the fun for a few days a year but don’t want a membership? Day-to-Day Admission may be just for you! Check out our admission fees here.
