Call Directions Website

Flamingo Gardens Established in 1927, Flamingo Gardens is one of the oldest botanical gardens in South Florida.
(2112)

Spend the day in this 60 acre botanical garden and Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary, with rescued native wildlife, some of South Florida's oldest and last remaining jungle forest, the Wray Home Museum, and 22 FL Champion Trees- the largest of their species. The 60-acre not-for-profit botanical garden contains over 3,000 tropical and sub-tropical species of plants and trees and its Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary is home to the largest collection of Florida native wildlife in the state. With some of the last natural jungle growth in South Florida, the Wray Botanical Collection at Flamingo Gardens includes 21 of the largest trees of their species and a unique hammock of 200-year-old Live Oak trees. The Historic Wray Home has been restored and is now a museum which provides a glimpse of life in the 1930s. The Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary gives residence to permanently injured and non-releasable wildlife and is home to 83 species of Florida native birds and animals including alligators, panthers, bobcats, otters, eagles, peacocks, and of course flamingos. The half-acre Free-flight Aviary boasts over 250 birds representing 45 species. In the last 20 years birds in the Aviary have produced over 2,000 offspring which have been released into the wild.

🐢 : Thousands of box turtles rescued from illegal wildlife trafficking!

Following a series of major international wildlife trafficking confiscations, wildlife organizations stepped in to care for thousands of rescued box turtles.

Working with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Flamingo Gardens' animal care team took in 250 of these turtles, providing food, health monitoring, and a safe place to recover. Animals rescued from trafficking can arrive dehydrated, malnourished, or injured after enduring poor transport conditions, making proper care and rehabilitation essential. 🌿

After over a month of care, the turtles were transferred to another facility to join hundreds of others rescued from trafficking. Researchers are using genetic testing to help identify where the turtles were taken from, with the hope of eventually returning them to their natural habitats.

Box turtles grow slowly and take years to reach reproductive age, making wild populations especially vulnerable to illegal collection. Removing hundreds from their natural habitats can have lasting consequences for generations.

This National Reptile Awareness Day, we're recognizing our dedicated "Turtle Task Force" and reminding everyone that wild turtles belong in the wild! 💚
