The Botanic Garden at Lakes Regional Park is the future of the gardens. Webster's Third International Dictionary defines a 'botanic' (or 'botanical') garden as "a garden that is used for the culture and study of plants collected and grown for scientific and display purposes."
You can see a concept map of what the Botanic Garden might look like by following this link http://www.leeparks.org/images/botanical-garden.jpg

The Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation is the driving force behind the Botanic Garden and along with Lee County Parks and Recreation is committed to seeing it become reality.
The first step will be a community garden. See that topic for more details about what is happening now, summer 2009, in the garden.
