alma Sola Botanical Park provides the community with a unique opportunity to enjoy educational programs, passive recreation and public events in the midst of 10 acres of natural beauty.
The Park is located in the Old Palma Sola section of northwest Bradenton. The site is an unusually warm microclimate and a protected parcel of land, it is notably frost-free. Because of these environmental conditions,
the Park showcases collections of rare palms, fruits, and flowering trees. Other subtropical plants can be safely grown in our protective environment. The Park contains lush tranquil gardens and three lakes for enjoyment.
n 1996, the Foundation entered into an agreement with Manatee County Government to establish the Palma Sola Botanical Park at 9800 17th Avenue Northwest. The Foundation and Manatee County have formed a beneficial partnership that has resulted in the development of the Park.
