Orlando’s most beloved botanical oasis is marking a major milestone this fall. Harry P. Leu Gardens is celebrating its 65th anniversary with Legacy in Bloom, a vibrant art installation honoring the Gardens’ rich history and its dynamic future, on view now through the fall of 2026.
Visitors can begin at the Welcome Center, where an educational display tells the story of the Gardens and of Orlando itself, then wander the 50-acre grounds to discover stunning artistic gateways inspired by Florida’s unique natural attributes scattered throughout the landscape.
The 50-acre municipal botanical garden has spent 65 years sharing beauty and learning with the community, and this anniversary celebration is the perfect reason to see it in full seasonal color.
Founded more than six decades ago, Leu Gardens has grown into one of Central Florida’s most treasured green escapes, with shaded paths, tropical plantings, and the scenic shores of Lake Rowena. Fall hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with last entry one hour before closing, at 1920 N Forest Ave, Orlando.
