Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in Fort Pierce, United States.
The gardens cover multiple acres featuring native Florida plants, tropical flowers, and specialized sections including bromeliad and butterfly gardens.
Originally established as a plant nursery in Scarsdale, New York, the gardens relocated to Florida in 1960 when founders Jim and Mollie Crimmins moved south.
Educational programs and guided tours throughout the year teach visitors about plant care, botany, and the importance of environmental conservation.
The gardens welcome visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with adult admission at $12 and senior tickets at $10.
The garden maintains the largest public collection of tropical bonsai trees in the United States, displayed alongside water features in dedicated areas.
