[…] is a lush, colorful, tropical living wall at the Naples (Florida) Botanical Garden. Look carefully and you can see bright bits of purple foliage […]

Thanks for stopping by… the Naples Botanical Garden really does want kids to enjoy their experiences here. Can't wait to see the Asian Garden, when it's finished. Teresa

What a fun place! So much for kids to enjoy and bromeliads for us. Thanks for sharing these. Wonder how the nature preserve looks..

Hi Rebecca: The garden is actually much larger. In fact, the nature preserve is 90 acres. You could be right about the basketball hoop, 😉 … but overall the Children's Garden had lots of fun places for kids to explore nature. You should definitely check out the garden when you are in the Naples area. Thanks for stopping by! Teresa

90 acres? Holy Cow- what a gorgeous botanical garden! I could spend a week there…and I love the children's garden (the basketball hoop makes me nervous, though…it's just calling out for trouble – one spontaneous game by some adolescent boys and it's all over for that part of the garden!!)…

Thanks Stevie! The entire Children's Garden is imaginative and fun, especially the cute little cracker house. If you do go visit, try for the cooler months. Meanwhile, appreciate your comments (and tweets). All best, Teresa

Beautiful! The cracker house garden is delightful – it's such a great thing to engage kids with gardening. I would so very much love to visit someday to see such a wildly different climate from mine.

Hi Kim and Victoria: Thanks for stopping by. Personally, I prefer Florida in the winter and spring. Good time for the botanical garden too. All best, Teresa

Thanks, Katie. Sounds like we were in Naples right around the same time. Definitely make a point to visit the garden when you return.

Believe it or not, I shot these pics with my phone too. I forgot my camera! Not bad for an iPhone, right? ;) Teresa
