History

The gardens opened to the public in May 2006, in accordance with the University of Florida's Florida Friendly Landscaping Program, to educate people in home landscaping and horticulture. [1] [2]

Rexroad and Haines manage the garden by using environmentally friendly practices such as fertilizing, mulching, attracting wildlife, controlling yard pests with integrated pest management strategies, water conservation, and reducing stormwater runoff. [3]

Tropical Ranch Botanical Garden has nine themed garden areas, each with distinctive plant specimens and landscaping styles. [3] The gardens are maintained by the owners and a staff of volunteers. [4] [5] [6]
