You won't believe this Hidden Botanical Garden filled with Rare FL Natives, Fragrant Orchids + MORE!

🌺 GARDENS AND GLASS – MR. RICK’S PRIVATE BOTANICAL GARDEN TOUR, ENGLEWOOD FLORIDA 🌿 Join Pete Kanaris for a tour of Gardens and Glass, also known as Mr. Rick’s Private Botanical Garden, in Englewood, Florida. Managed by Daniel, this coastal sanctuary has evolved from a native butterfly garden into a stunning mix of fragrant, edible, and ornamental landscapes — a living showcase of sustainability and Florida beauty. HIGHLIGHTS: 🌸 FRAGRANT GARDEN – Gardenias, Day Blooming Jasmine, and Hercules Club fill the air with scent from morning through evening. 🦋 BUTTERFLY HABITAT – Native flowering and host plants attract butterflies and pollinators year-round. 🥭 EDIBLE LANDSCAPE – No grass here — just abundance! Bananas, sapodilla, and volunteer greens like turnips, kale, and collards thrive in compost-enriched soil. 💨 HURRICANE RESILIENCE – Rebuilt after Hurricane Ian with storm-hardy and regenerative plantings. 🌱 INNOVATIVE GARDENING – Earth Boxes outperform in-ground beds for vegetables, while a custom-built soil screener turns mulch into compost for total soil reuse. 🌸 ORCHID COLLECTION – An impressive assortment of orchids, including a “rehab area” for recovery and propagation. 🌿 UNIQUE PLANTS – Sweet Acacia, Dutchman Pipe Vine, Joy Tree, Dwarf Lang Lang, Wild Lime, and the Hong Kong Orchid Tree add fragrance and character. ⛺ TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP – The property features a Native-built Tiki Hut constructed using traditional methods — with another planned for the future. *Gardens and Glass* reflects the artistry, innovation, and resilience of Florida’s regenerative landscapes — combining beauty, biodiversity, and function into a truly one-of-a-kind private garden. 🌎 🌿 LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR FLORIDA DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SERVICES: https://www.greendreamsfl.com/florida...
