Its a very small but very nice botanical garden. Its quiet and calm and relaxing. There is a nice selection of plants to see and a wonderful bonsai garden! 4 stars only because you shouldnt plan on spending much time there. We doubled back on a few exhibits and still only spent about an hour to see everything.

Such a beautiful, peaceful place to go. Loved the flower and plant show!! The lights at Christmas are also amazing. Stunned at how gorgeous these gardens are every single time we go. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful way to spend a few hours. The bonsai gallery is way cooler that I initially thought it would be, as I did not really know what to expect. The garden was very peaceful and had a variety of other cool plants throughout.There is a garden cat who lives on property who is so sweet! I found her way in the back eating a lizard.

Although this garden could use some TLC, the bonsai collection did it for me. I was quite surprised and amazed by the large variety of bonsai plants. I was told its the largest collection in the US. It is a must see. Some new plants had just arrived from a private collector so they are in the process of increasing and expanding the already large number. I highly recommend a visit to see these spectacular plants.

Its a nice small botanical garden great for kids. It has the largest collection of bonsai trees I have seen. And make sure to bring some bug spray if the temperature is above 80 degrees there will be a lot of mosquitoes.

It was a nice way to spend a Friday afternoon with a cute cat that followed us around the garden, the bonsai garden was AMAZING Ive never seen so many different kinds in one place. They had a cute kids area too.The only reason I gave 4 stars is because it looked a little run down not a lot of flowers but it was only 8$ per person so not complaining

Little gem of a botanical garden. It is home to the largest subtropical bonsai collection in the United States. Many other botanical gardens are over-manicured, however Heathcote has a very quirky and relaxed feel that makes visitors feel truly immersed in everything green. Many magical nooks and ponds are scattered about.

Pictures speak for themselves. Many exotic plants.

Nice little garden to visit with the family and enjoy nature!🌳 We paid $8 entry and spent about 1:40 minutes walking around the garden...We wore mask in the giftshop but were allowed to remove them as we walked through the gardens....There is a wide selection of bonsai trees, and the kids enjoyed the play area. The herb section is pretty non existent and there was only a very small selection of flowers. The gift shop had plenty to choose from at a decent price. Overall it was a good first visit experience. I will probably go back with the kids for the Christmas lighting. ⛄🎄

I paid $8 for entry to the Heathcote Botanical Gardens. Friendly dogs are welcome so I brought my dog Roscoe. I really enjoyed the mosaic benches and the fairy garden. They also have a bonsai garden which provided a very unique experience. I was a little disappointed that they used the Historic Pioneer House as storage. I was unable to walk through it and read the history due to limited accessibility. The overall condition of the gardens was in fair condition. It didn’t look very well maintained, but it was still a very enjoyable, tranquil experience.

Super cute light display in a beautiful botanical garden. Great for kids and they have a scavenger hunt to find some animals figures in the light displays. Hildy the office cat was out ( I think that is the name I heard) and the cat is super friendly and we gave the cat some 💕 love! We found all the items and you get a voucher for some free ice cream. 👍👍 The moon was full and gorgeous in the clouds. The bonsai display was my fav!!! I hate wearing a mask cause I get a little more clumsy. Anybody else?? Well, we highly recommend!!! Happy Holidays all and Blessings ❤️!

Was pleasantly surprised by the vivid Christmas light displays.... For a smaller botanical garden they had a great use of space.... Their bonsai collection is very impressive.... Will definitely go back again.

My wife, Julie gave a presentation about raising Butterflies there today. Great presentation. Tomorrows presentation is from 1PM to 2PM. See you there? Promise you will learn something.

Outstanding garden. Beautiful plants and flowers. Great wildlife attractions. Loved the Japanese Bonsai garden. Relaxing place. Excellent garden for the kids too. This place is one of the best Botanical gardens in ALL of Florida. Underrated no doubt. Get here! Only issue: openings M - F only. But worth the time!

Amazing Place. The Christmas Lights on the extensive Bonsai Trees took my breath away.

Nice relaxing place to visit.

Here during the light thing brought my family awesome very beautiful

These unique gardens are so fascinating- some of the bonsai trees date decades old! So cool that this is the largest tropical bonsai garden in the US.

The garden is super cute. If you like bonsai trees, then youll love their bonsai garden. There are more bonsais here then in some Japanese gardens Ive been to. There are a lot of mosquitoes (Thats Florida, for you), so put on some repellent first. Overall quiet and great experience.

Ive been twice. Beautiful garden. Tons of work and love. The Christmas lights were super cute.

Beautiful place to spend a couple of hours

Heathcote Botanical Gardens in Fort Pierce, Fl. opened their Christmas Lights Garden Show this weekend. A great place to bring the family to see the creations made by the staff & volunteers. Food trucks, Gourmet Glazed Nuts & Woodcarving demos making special free gifts for the kids. Gardens open at 5:30 until 9 pm on weekends now through December.

Cute little garden. My highlight was the beautiful cat they have living in the place, he or she was so friendly and loved getting pets.

Went during Christmas lighting. LOVE IT! Going back for regular hours very soon. Love the bonsai garden cant wait for you the rest.

Beautiful, oasis with one of the largest bonzi collections, koi pond, meditation spots, childrens garden, hade a great afternoon, and will buy anual membership on our next visit⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely beautiful!

Love going here! This annual Christmas light show is always wonderful! My wife & I make it one of our Christmas Date Nights. The proceeds benefit the Garden, & at $8 per person its well worth it! The volunteers work very hard to make this an enjoyable experience & they dont dissappoint!! Stop in, youll love it!!

Lovely light display, we will definitely add this to our annual Christmas light display list.

Exquisite small collection of bonsai plants

Sweet little place, with a lovely Holiday light display. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

Went here a couple days ago. It was okay, but definitely not worth $16 for my girlfriend and me to walk around for an hour. Multiple areas were “under construction” so we couldn’t see them, and nothing was said about this before purchasing tickets. Maybe it was the off-season, but either way they should be offering a discount if that’s the case, not charging full price. I definitely wouldn’t consider this a destination spot for the next time we are in town.

Great Bonsai collection, super cute cat followed me everywhere, love this place, small but great. Herb garden needs some love!

This place was AMAZING!! Such beautiful Christmas lights and the way they were arranged. Its handicapped accessible and they also offer the use of their own wheelchairs. The price was very reasonable for all you got to see and experience. There were carolers there and food vendors. Santa & Mrs Claus were there with free photo ops. There is a gift shop and also Santas work shop!

Very pretty at holiday lighting time! Loved it..

It is so beautiful, We went for the Garden of Lights but we are definitely going back during the day.

Beautiful bonsai! Terrific Christmas lights. A little pricey for Christmas lights 10$ per adult 6 for children

Not really worth the $8 for what you see unless you really like bonsai trees, but it seems like they have a good cause and it’s nice they have a veggie garden to see. The herb garden was unfortunately closed when we went, but the butterfly section had a lot of butterflies so that was nice. I wouldn’t go back and pay for admission again, but I would enjoy volunteering to help plant and garden there!

We did the gardens of light for the holidays and it is just amazing! Im posting photos so you can see for yourselves ❤️⛄🤶🎅🎄

Beautiful garden, excited to come back in a few weeks for the Garden of Lights

The bonsai section was great to see, but thats about it for it . The rest was in okay condition and didnt look very well kept up.

Always very nice. Especially during Christmas.

I love this place. The people are so wonderful. Im having my wedding there in December and they treat me and Jacqueline like we are part of the family. Love it love it love it!

Beautiful place to enjoy a walk in a magnificent bonsai garden. Some of these trees are over one hundred years old!Enjoy the gift shop and support this wonderful place!

The place was awesome! We went during the Gardens of Lights theme. A must for everyone!

Theres a couple of garden sections that are very beautiful and makes the whole experience totally worth it. Definitely save those for the end. That would be the Bonsai garden and the Reflections garden. I would advise you to wear comfy shoes and a bug spray for the visit.

I love the Heathcote botanical gardens! I just went last night to see the Garden of lights! The lights were so beautiful, loved the butterfly garden, big Santa polar bear, the water and fountain, the yummy cupcakes and taking a photo with Santa!

Go here every year for the lights and love the bonsai area a must see

Having the chance to go and experience the 5th Anual light show was amazing. The best part is the casual atmosphere with live music (keyboard pianist). The weather held up, it was a nice 75-degree evening walk. Reading all of the plant type names and genus/ species was informative as well. It did not feel like a 1.5 mile walk since it was self-paced. The featured bonsai display was stunning. #ScubaJay

Beautiful, quaint garden. Small compared to others Ive been to in the past, can quickly go through giving about 30-45 minutes to see everything without feeling rushed. My favorite was the Reflection Garden. Serene. Secluded. Just enough to sit and meditate for a few. We went 10/20/19 for a plant sale and walked away with 2 gorgeous centerpieces for our balcony for under $20. They even provide memberships you can sign up for to gain admission for other gardens in the area, including Bok Towers.

Bonsai off the chart. Looking forward to going to Natures Garden Landscaping in Vero to buy one of these works of art from James J. Smith.

This place is defiantly worth stopping for. Family friendly and down to earth cool folks running the event. They even made parking easy as well.

Fun event. Bathrooms and Snack area. Rated for the whole Family.

A very nice garden with a wide variety of plants.

Beautiful gardens and spectacular Christmastime decorations. A must see!

Just beautiful. It will be a part of our annual tradition from now on.

Beautiful Christmas lights! I enjoyed it very much.

So beautiful, great Christmas lights. Friendly informative staff. Dont miss seeing this Christmas display.

Beautiful botanical gardens. Cant wait to come back and enjoy the beautiful Bonsai display

Dog friendly! What more can you say?

Changes taking place. Garden of lights will open Friday 11/27/20 through New Year for families to see new lighted venues and enjoy holiday cheer as you stroll through the gardens. Japanese garden has had extensive reconstruction and is now wheelchair accessible. Childrens garden is fun for families and will have a model train to the season.

This is another favorite botanical garden. Lots to see here, and they have a variety of sections with different themes. Check out the Japanese house in the back and the amazing selection of bonsai.

It was beautiful and really fun. Inexpensive too.

Such a waste of money. We came here on a glimpse. For an 6- or was it 8$ for entrance. It was not worth it. It was more like a backyard garden than an actual garden that you will have to pay. Spend your money somewhere else. Though they said that they have the largest collection of Bonsai in America. But I still dont think it was worth it.

Had a great day. Checking into membership. Will go back.

I see the growth & improvements each year. Grateful to have access to such a wonderful Bonsai Collection & peaceful Garden.

Beautiful place! We took 2 little kids and a stroller and had a wonderful day. We packed a lunch and ate in the lawn. Best bonsai ever

Very pretty place

Beautiful place! Lots of Bosnia trees.

Gets prettier and busier every year

Beautiful little garden with an amazing collection of bonsai trees. Would be back!!!

Walking trails of Christmas light displays. Really good ones.

Amazing selection of bonsai. Beautiful gardens and a small area for children to find further entertainment as well.

The best Christmas light experience around. The bonsai trees were amazing. The garden was clean, well lit, and absolutely beautiful. We will make this a yearly tradition!

Great for all ages.loved it

I really enjoy Heathcote Botanical Gardens because it is beautiful, accessible and something is always blooming!

We came to take graduation photos here. Beautiful!

We love Heathcote! The bonsai garden is remarkable and the tool sculptures that are scattered throughout the gardens just make me smile.

Christmas display is awesome. Hurry! It ends on December 30th!

A must place to visit for plants lovers.

Small but beautiful!

Beautiful grounds. Lots of Bonsai trees on display. Very nice staff.

It was so much fun! The scavenger hunt was actually challenging. We enjoyed the beautiful art

Great zen place to clear the mind, they have beautiful bonsai trees, koi ponds and very relaxing trails.

We didnt make it for the holiday lights, but the bonsai garden is exceptional! The herb garden looks like its in transition, overall this is a really nice botanical garden.

Very nice for the size. We went for the Christmas light show which was very nice. It was just smaller then we thought

The gardens and holiday lights were beautiful! It was very busy but everyone was wearing a mask. I would definitely reccomend and may go again myself!

Awesome bonsai exhibit.

I went during their festival of lights during the Christmas season. It was the most amazing lights display I have ever seen. In fact I returned for a second visit. Their bonsai display is beautiful!

Beautiful gardensLearning centerKids welcome

Beautiful collection, well maintained.

Went to a wedding shower here. Really lovely place!

Its little has creative area for the kids and has a gorgeous bonsai collection! 💯 Worth it if you like bonsais

A wonderful local garden that is maintained by volunteers from the community. An absolutely magnificent world-class bonsai tree collection. Very much worth the price of admission.

I learned of Heathcote gardens from the bringfido site. I was looking for an outdoor outing that allowed leashed dogs. The gardens were beautiful. The historic house on the grounds looked charming. The bonsai were very impressive. There was one bonsai from 1961. Our little dogs enjoyed the peaceful gardens and exploring a new place. It was daytime but we could see all the holiday lights throughout the garden. I bet the lights are spectacular at night.

Visited during their plant sale. Beautiful setting and very friendly people. Loved the Bonzi exhibits.

Not a bad place, simple.

The Christmas light show was fantastic!

Lovely bonsai plants on display.

Great Christmas lights, great people!
