Every time, I step into Hollis Garden, I get a sense of pride and joy. I come here to take pictures, enjoy the seasonal transformation of the garden, and stroll around the neighboring Barnett Park and Lake Mirror.
The garden is magnificent and packed with full of fascinating plants, flowers and trees, such as the magnolia tree blooming with its citrus' scent blossoms. This garden tells a story of Florida as you stroll through each theme room of plant life that include Florida natives, annual hybrids, perennials, well manicured hedges, as well as fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Flowers organized into areas of specific color, such as red, yellow or white decorate each living space. Perfectly cut lawns that make you want to take your shoes off and feel the carpet of Bermuda grass.
You will also notice the water features such as, koi fish pond, sculpture and architecture that enhances the beauty of the garden.
While you walk through the garden listening to soothing music in the background, it becomes obvious that visiting Hollis Garden is therapy for Mind, Body and Spirit.
Don't take my word for it, check out Hollis Garden and see for yourself!
