In kind of a sketchy area near the airport, yet Mounts makes you feel as though you've stepped into another world. Beautiful and relaxing. More

We visited during one of their rare plant shows and bought some orchids and pitcher plants and a few decorative outdoor crafts. The gardens could stand some investment and upkeep. The location is right next to the Palm Beach airport, but you hardly notice the planes. More

What's a cycad? Ever see a Shaving Brush tree. What is the name of the beautiful yellow flowering tree? -Tabebuia (Chrysotricha). What kind of vegetables are grown in Florida? Lots of ferns, palm trees, bamboos etc.- very interesting and educational. Just West of the runways of PBI Airport on Military trail. More

We have been going to Mounts for years. A complete visit will take about an hour. Wonderful place for a walk and to experience different types of gardens that have something blooming most times of the year--butterfly garden; vegetable garden; fruit trees; herb garden; a lake with turtles and fish. There are benches throughout to sit and enjoy the view. More

Great way to get started gardening in South Florida by seeing what thrives and speaking with the master gardeners giving tours. More

The grandparents enjoyed it. I would have like to move at double the pace. I did enjoy it. Not great compared to gardens in other areas and states. More

I saw plants and trees that I never knew existed all displayed in a beautiful manicured 14 acre garden. Most of the plants and trees are labeled and some have detailed info. There is a spice garden and a vegetable garden and a big pond with turtles and fish. There is a sign at the entrance requesting a $5 donation. More

This park is one of those places where you will want to linger and enjoy the beauty. Located in a most unexpected area near PBIA the air traffic seems to make no noise as it glides nearby on the approach to the runways. It is almost like a dream as you watch them sail past. Bring a camera as the... More
