Florida, United States

---

Flamingo Gardens in Florida, United States, is a 60-acre botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary located in Davie, near Fort Lauderdale. Established in 1927 by Floyd L. and Jane Wray as a citrus grove, it developed into one of South Florida's oldest gardens.

The property features over 3,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants, including rare and exotic trees, palms, and flowering plants, alongside a large collection of state champion trees, the largest of their species in Florida. The gardens also include natural jungle growth, themed botanical areas, and an Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary that houses more than 90 native species such as alligators, panthers, eagles, and flamingos.

The historic Wray Home, built in the 1930s, now serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into early Florida life. Flamingo Gardens is recognized as a cultural heritage landmark and attracts visitors with its botanical beauty and diverse wildlife exhibits.
