Mounts: a garden full of color in West Palm Beach
Themed gardens, roses, tropical plants and a wide open lawn. Mounts gives you many different backdrops in a single walk, all surrounded by green.
Many gardens in one place
Mounts is a public botanical garden in Palm Beach County, organized into themed gardens. That means you can move from a bright, open backdrop to an intimate, leafy one in minutes.
Open lawn
Room for family photos, kids running and full-length backlit portraits.
Roses and blooms
Flower gardens add natural color and soft backgrounds for close portraits.
Gazebo and paths
A gazebo and paths through tropical plantings give romantic frames and leading lines.

The gazebo and flowering corners are perfect for romantic photos that don't feel posed.
The best light at Mounts
The open gardens get a lot of sun, so we look for low light and tree shade. The exact time depends on what the garden allows; we plan it with you when you book.
- Morning: fresh light and clean color in the flowers.
- Late day: golden backlight over the lawn, ideal for families.
- Season: November to April is usually drier and cooler; what's in bloom varies, and we tell you what to expect when we plan.
What to wear at Mounts
With so much color around, soft or solid shades that don't compete with the flowers work best.
- White, cream, soft pink, lilac, light blue or terracotta.
- Small florals yes; big, loud prints better not.
- Families: a palette of two or three coordinated colors.
- Comfortable shoes for lawn and paths.
