Kanapaha Botanical Gardens

Kanapaha Botanical Gardens is a 62 acre facility developed and operated by the North Florida Botanical Society, a non-profit educational organization. Kanapaha Botanical Gardens is comprised of 16 major collections visually accessible from a 1 ½ foot paved walkway. These include the state's largest public display of bamboos and the largest herb garden in the Southeast. The word Kanapaha is derived from the Timucua Indian words for "palmetto leaf" and "house." Taken together, they refer to the thatched dwellings that were home to the original residents of a small Timucua village on the western shore of Lake Kanapaha.
