Garden HistoryFlourishing in Winter Park amid homes, businesses
and academic environments is Mead Botanical Garden
(MBG). The original non-profit organization dedicated it
in 1940 to world-renowned horticulturist Theodore L. Mead. MBG is 47 acres of
uplands, wetlands, a flowing creek, a pond, and a remnant
stand of longleaf pine.
In 2003, the Friends of Mead Garden (now Mead Botanical
Garden, Inc.) formed a new partnership with the City of Winter Park to focus on restoring and enhancing
the garden. Building upon the past and responding
to a renewed awareness of environmental issues, the group continues to look at
new possibilities for this Winter Park treasure. With the help and dedication of
many volunteer organizations and individuals, the garden’s
master plan advances.
