Everglades Wonder Gardens

In 1936, brothers Bill and Lester Piper established The Reptile Gardens as a roadside attraction along the newly built Tamiami Trail from Tampa to Miami. For eighty-four years the Everglades Wonder Gardens has inspired, cultivated and engaged our Southwest Florida community with our one-of-a-kind experience and a new era of wonder has begun. We have recently been energized with new leadership and would like to invite our community to join us as volunteers! We are establishing new programs and revenue streams and building key partnerships with other mission-focused organizations, our business community, and PreK-12 and higher education Institutions.
