Tropical Ranch Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Stuart, Florida
The Tropical Ranch Botanical Garden is a botanical garden in Stuart featuring rare plants organized across nine themed sections. Each area displays specific plant types and its own landscaping approach.
The garden opened to the public in May 2006, born from the vision of Diane Rexroad and Jim Haines to share gardening knowledge with the community. The founders sought to create a place where people could learn and practice new techniques.
The garden serves as a place where visitors learn about sustainable planting methods and see how the Florida Friendly Landscaping Program works in practice. The arrangement of plants demonstrates techniques that guests can apply in their own yards.
Private tours can be arranged by appointment, and the garden offers a dedicated space for wedding ceremonies with two-hour time slots. The best time to visit is during cooler months when the heat is less intense.
The garden uses integrated pest control and water-saving methods to reduce stormwater runoff in ways visitors often overlook. These practices shape how the garden operates and how plants grow throughout the grounds.
