Since its inception in 1936, the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden has dedicated itself to preserving the delicate tropical ecosystem native to the Florida Keys and Caribbean. Unlike conventional botanical gardens, we emphasize the significance of native species within conservation habitats. Our mission is to cultivate a living arboretum, wildlife refuge, and educational center that showcases these vital plants. With volunteer-driven governance, we offer programs for all ages, encouraging a deeper understanding of biodiversity and conservation efforts. Join us in exploring this unique tropical sanctuary.
