Join fellow Cornellians for a guided tour of Paradise Palms Botanical and Sculpture Gardens, situated on Half Mile Road in West Delray Beach, Florida. The Gardens offer a unique outdoor experience of nature and art, where visitors can stroll through acres of beautifully designed and maintained gardens, groves, and micro-forests containing a significant range of rare and beautiful plants and trees, including one of the most extensive palm tree collections in the United States.

By walking the combined 20 acres on gravel paths, visitors can see over 2500 palm trees in their natural environments, including hundreds of other distinct species from every corner of the world. Of particular interest is a half-acre “open-air” conservatory of rare and beautiful shade palms from Southeast Asia, Madagascar, and the Americas, in an artificially created rainforest, beneath an immense Ficus tree.
