The Leu House Museum located in the heart of the gardens, in downtown Orlando, reveals turn-of-the century living for the families who once called this home.

Explore an amazing 50-acre botanical oasis minutes from downtown Orlando. Each garden is designed specifically to further our mission: inspire visitors to appreciate and understand plants. The Leu House Museum located in the heart of the gardens reveals turn-of-the century living for the families who once called this home. The gardens and historical home were donated to the City of Orlando in 1961 by Mr. Harry P. Leu and his wife, Mary Jane.

The climate of Central Florida permits Leu Gardens to grow and enjoy a wide array of temperate and tropical plants.

Leu Gardens teems with vigor and beauty, regardless of the season. Discover palms, cycads and flowering trees. Enjoy azaleas, vines, bromeliads, and tropical philodendrons. Appreciate the sight of familiar annual flowers and the beauty of roses and camellias. Stroll under the awe-inspiring branches of camphor trees, elms and oaks.

Guests with a camera phone and QR reader application may scan QR Code images on many of garden signs to display additional information about the collections of plants.
