Upcoming events
Get involved
Lanakila Gardens is open to visits by small groups whose interests are served by time spent in the gardens, including tours for garden clubs, day visits by UNF students in Environmental Studies, organic gardening and archaeology enthusiasts. Workshops run by Jacksonville artists also take place on the property. Musical events combining UNF opera students and instrumentalists in the Formal Garden, as well as visits from participants and staff at social service programs such as Art with a Heart in Medicine and Hope at Hand take place each year. Specific programs on soil health, biodiverse planting schemes, growing in succession and from seed, ecological design and best organic practices for a regenerative landscape continue to be developed. The Foundation’s mission will ensure the permanency of Lanakila Gardens as a place of natural beauty, horticultural education and inspiration for all who visit.
