Visit
Mead Botanical Garden is located north of Orlando just off 17-92. Coming from Orlando, just after you enter Winter Park city limits, turn right (east) onto Garden Dr. Coming from Winter Park, just after you cross Orange Avenue and the railroad tracks, turn left (east) onto Garden Dr. This will lead you directly to Mead Botanical Garden. There are signs to guide you along the way, but Garden Dr. is easy to miss if you’re not on the lookout. The Garden entrance is at the intersection of Garden Dr. and Denning Dr.
We warmly welcome you to this natural sanctuary. While you explore, please help us keep this space safe and beautiful for everyone—human and wild—by following a few simple guidelines:
OPEN DAILY
Admission is FREE to the public.
Leave Only Footprints
Take memories and photos, but leave plants, rocks, and other natural items where they belong.
Respect Wildlife From Afar
Observe animals quietly without approaching or feeding them.
Dogs: Welcome on a Leash
For your safety and the safety of others, please keep pets leashed and close by at all times.
Be Respectful
Share the trails, keep noise levels low, and help us protect this peaceful place.

Thank you for your understanding.
