Palma Sola Botanical Park

Palma Sola Botanical Park

Palma Sola Botanical Park (10 acres) is a botanical garden located at 9800 17th Avenue N.W. Bradenton, Florida, USA. It is open daily without charge.

The park began in 1990 when a group organized to save the Manatee County palm nursery by turning it into a botanical garden. In 1993 a non-profit foundation was formed, which in 1996 agreed with Manatee County Government to establish the Palma Sola Botanical Park. Today's park is a joint venture between the Manatee County parks department and the nonprofit Palma Sola Botanical Park Foundation.

Today the park showcases collections of rare palms, fruits, and flowering trees, as well as three lakes, a butterfly garden, gazebo, pavilion, and playground.
