The magic of the Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens.

Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens springs to life every June. The landscape bursts with color, thanks to those heavy summer rains; everything’s growing like crazy. They just planted over 1,500 annuals, so you’ll catch spectacular displays everywhere, and literally millions of blooms blanketing the grounds each day.

There’s more shade now, with the trees spreading their canopy, so you can stroll in comfort. They’ve added extra shaded seats under the tent and pergolas, so you don’t have to hide from the sun. And when the heat gets to you, the gift shop offers a cool retreat, plus plenty of unique nature and art-inspired treasures to browse.

Wander the flower paths, hunt for world-class sculptures, or just relax and take in the peaceful vibe, as the Gardens feel refreshing and inspiring this time of year. Bring the family for a visit you won’t forget.

Summer hours run Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The last entry is at 1:15 p.m. Click here for more information.
