SJBGNP is in its infancy. There are many areas that are not finished, under construction, weedy, or not accessible yet by wheelchair. Roads and paths are not yet paved. Plant ID signs and informational signage is not yet complete. We are working on all of these tasks. But we need your help to make these things happen! Become a sustaining member, adopt a tree, purchase something in the gift shop, volunteer here, or just make a tax-deductible donation. This is YOUR Botanical Garden! Take pride in it and become a part of it! You are seeing the largest collection of palms, cycads and tropical plants in North Florida. You are amongst huge oaks, and the nature preserve part of the Botanical Garden features a riverine floodplain with a beautiful hardwood forest that harbors a wonderful variety of wildlife not often seen in much of northern Florida. Our goal is to expand the nature preserve and preserve it for future generations…
