Knowing how much our community has gone through, we want to continue to make a difference and enrich lives. Throughout the month of November, we will not charge admission for any guests so that everyone can find respite and relaxation. So come take a stroll, stop in to feed the koi fish, marvel at the many birds, and take the time to breathe and unwind. Let us replant, rebloom, and regrow together by making any size donation during your visit. peacerivergardens.org 5827 Riverside Dr. Punta Gorda, FL 33982 941.621.8299 If you’d like to support Our ongoing hurricane recovery efforts please click here.

Peace River Botanical Gardens took direct hit from the eye of Hurricane Ian. The early estimates of damage a totals nearly $450,000, much of which is not covered by insurance. With a $94,000 deductible and a policy that does not cover replacement of plants and trees, we are in need of additional support to make it through the aftermath of this storm. This message is an urgent plea for those members and supporters that hold the Gardens dear to their hearts, have a deep appreciation for the conservation we embody, and value the art and educational programs that our nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization offers to step forward and assist us in our rebuilding and recovery efforts.

Flowering trees and plants bloom throughout the year, and more than 15,000 sq. ft. of boardwalks and docks provide optimum viewing of the Garden’s vast sculptures.

We start sailing and we stop in some ports and we meet people. Sometimes we stay long, and sometimes not. Sometimes we sail again. Sometimes the sea is choppy, and sometimes calm. That's life. And in the end, we all stop somewhere...Kamal Tufan, KeelKamal Tufan, "Keel"
