Mckee Botanical Garden is located in Vero Beach Florida. This amazing garden is built on 18 acres and was founded in 1929. You can read up on it by clicking here. This was my first time ever visiting and I am sorry that it took so long. This place is amazing! Here are some pictures of my visit.
This first picture is a map of the garden.
This picture is of the amazing Royal Palm Trees ( Roystonea regia ) that are just plain huge.
This next set of pictures is of one of my favorite Palm Trees commonly known as the Old Man Palm ( Coccothrinax crinita ). This Palm Tree grows very slowly.
These next pictures are of my favorite...... The Screw Pine ( Pandanas utilis ). These two pictures are the same kind of tree just different ages. The second one will turn into the first one.
This is a random picture of the garden.
Ouch! I would not want to run into this tree running through the woods. I was not able to find the name tag but I think it is a Corojo Palm tree (Gastrococos crispa ). It is completely covered in 3 to 4 inch hypodermic needles.
This set of pictures is of my favorite bamboo known as Buddahs Belly Bamboo ( Bambusa ventricosa ). I am attracted to the shape of the culms. They are like an hour glass.
That concludes my trip to McKee Botanical Garden. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. See you again next time.
