Though only 100 years old (barely a teenager by tree reckoning), St. Petersburg’s oldest “living” museum already plays home to more than 50,000 tropical plants and flowers. The tropical paradise's pathways wind through the lush gardens, revealing cascading waterfalls, exotic plant life, and phantasmagoric portals to other dimensions as you experience the florae of old Florida at its finest. A yearlong family membership to the gardens includes unlimited admission to the gardens for up to five family members, as well as 10% off at the gardens’ gift shop, a subscription to the garden newsletter, and free admission to more than 200 reciprocal gardens throughout the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. A single-day pass to the gardens provides an escape plan for hooky-playing horticulture fans any day of the week, and can also be used by pepper aficionados to test their tongues' flammability during the Hot Pepper Fest on October 17.
Seeking solace in a well-manicured garden is a peaceful way to flee the blaring bagpipes and ill-mannered jabberwockies that pollute the urban landscape. Take this opportunity to commune with nature, or lure a basement-dwelling World of Warcraft addict out of his or her beanbag-chaired habitat into a sunlit world of fresh air, flowers, and trees.
