Palma Sola Botanical Park Foundation

Palma Sola Botanical Park is a 10-acre free botanical garden in West Bradenton, maintained entirely by volunteers and donations without any government funding. Shelled pathways wind around the park's ponds, showcasing native and tropical plants alongside benches for resting and reflecting. The natural setting attracts birds, butterflies, and local wildlife throughout the year, making it as much a nature walk as a botanical garden. The park opens daily at 8am and closes at dusk. A peaceful, unhurried destination ideal for a morning stroll before heading to the beach.
