The Florida Botanical Gardens spread across 182 acres within Pinewood Cultural Park at the south end of Largo. The grounds include themed gardens — a tropical fruit garden, a rose garden, butterfly gardens, and sections dedicated to native Florida plants — connected by paved paths suitable for walking or cycling. Admission is free every day of the year, which makes this one of the best-value stops in Pinellas County.
The gardens are at their most colorful in late winter and spring, when the camellia and azalea collections bloom and the migratory birds move through. The wetland sections attract wading birds year-round. There is a small visitor centre near the entrance with maps and plant information.
