Palm Cottage Gardens

[Eric in Orlando]

Yes, Nehrling's Garden, and also Thomas Mead's old place up near Oviedo and also General Sanford's near where Sanford is now. Gen. Sanford was growing lots of tropical plants/palms and fruit trees in the late 1800s until the big freeze in 1886 (??). Had royals that supposedly survived, they were listed under a very old name, Oreodoxa regia. And also Mead Gardens in Winter Park.

heres an article about this old garden;

The article mentions being able to donate online or on smartphones. Could you give us a link to where we could do that?
