    Excellent little hidden gem in the earth of Palm Beach. Eclectic gardens are meticulously manicured with labels for most flora. Free entrance to the gardens. Free parking close by. It will take most people 1 to hours to stroll around the exterior gardens. Several other activities to do in the local area just a short walk away.

    This is a beautiful little garden with public display of sculpture and some paintings. The garden is open to the public 10am-5pm every day, free of charge. There are also educational lectures and workshops throughout the years, and you can make a reservation online for those programs. You can walk the Palm Beach Lake Trail for 10 min to get to the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. It's a pleasant walk along the water on a nice day.

    IN BLOOM Flower Show The Flower Show IN BLOOM was an event that was wonderfully executed, showcasing some truly amazing flowers, and attended by some amazing people. The organizers of the event put in a great deal of effort to create an atmosphere that was both inviting and breathtaking. The displays were arranged in a manner that made it easy to appreciate the beauty of the flowers and to fully take in their many colors and scents. The flowers themselves were truly impressive, with a wide variety of species on display, ranging from vibrant roses to delicate orchids. Each specimen was carefully selected and expertly cared for, resulting in a collection of flowers that was truly stunning. Visitors to the show were treated to a feast for the senses, with the many different types of flowers providing a kaleidoscope of colors, fragrances, and textures. But what truly made the Flower Show IN BLOOM special was the people who attended it. The visitors were clearly passionate about flowers, and they came from all walks of life to share in the experience. From children to seniors, everyone seemed to appreciate the beauty of the flowers and to be genuinely enjoying themselves. This created a sense of community and shared joy that was palpable throughout the event. Overall, this event was a wonderful that left a lasting impression on all who attended. The combination of amazing flowers, expert execution, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere made for a truly memorable experience. If you have a chance to attend the Flower Show IN BLOOM in the future, it is definitely an event that should not be missed.

    Exquisite garden What a pleasure to visit this beautiful, absolutely delightful garden. A real oasis, very tranquil and peaceful. It has lots of areas to sit, relax, and absorb the true beauty of this garden. This is a fun outdoor experience with many different sculptures to see and wonderful plants. It is not huge, but has lots of conversation starters and is located within walking distance to Worth Avenue. There is a lot of picture-perfect spots and it's all free! An absolute must-see if you visit Palm Beach.

    Only walked the garden area which was nice. Parking is limited but a decently serene place to pull off and enjoy if you have 30 min or so to kill.

    Lovely gardens to walk around. Not huge but free and there's also free parking across the library entrance so can't complain. There's a small Chinese garden which was really nice and some pretty interesting sculptures.

    What an amazing find this place is. We were able to park on the street and enter through the garden gate into a wonderland. Each corner we peered around contained another treasure, a fountain, a koi pond, fruit trees, orchids, a rose garden, or a sculpture. There is plenty of seating through out the garden to sit in contemplation of the beauty around you. My daughter thought the garden looked just like the ones she had seen in France and even compared it favorably to the one at Versailles. At one point we saw a heron catch his frog lunch and devour it at the fountain. If you are looking for a place that will transport you to a place of peace and tranquility for a few hours at least than this is the garden to visit.

    A marvelous place to picnic, the sculpture garden offers the perfect blend of art and nature. Great place for inspiration and mindfulness. Have I mentioned it’s free? You will definitely want to take advantage of this wonderful place and admire what it offers.

    Absolutely a beautiful place, so why two starts? Because despite TWO emails sent to them asking a question about their property. They never messaged me back. That’s unacceptable and rude. Why have a contact us feature on your website then? Unbelievable.

    Clearly, the intellectual capital of Palm Beach Island. With a fabulous catalog of courses, lectures, films, films of theatre & opera and a great library, with wonderful gardens, this Palm Beach gem is not only for members but for everyone. BRAVO!!!

    Very calming, well kept, free garden. Wish it was open later than 5pm, though!

  • 5/5 Brittany H. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice garden tucked in the middle of the island. Free to walk around. Some really pretty spots for photos! Great place for a quick stop!

  • 5/5 Dana W. 7 years ago on Google
    The gardens adjacent to the The Society of the Four Arts are one of Palm Beach County's true gems. The are especially nice in the winter months, but are a must see for anyone who is visiting our area year round.

  • 5/5 Peter F. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m in love with the Four Arts library, so redolent of Pecky Cypress and gorgeous oriental rugs. The stairs of polished concrete are gorgeous. Ever since the renovation of the gardens I am all disoriented about how it’s laid out.

  • 5/5 Peter E. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a beautiful garden to visit, enjoy and relax. Surprisingly not many people know about this place, just a few minutes away from very popular Worth Avenue. I enjoyed the variety of plants, different setups, including Japanese garden and many art sculptures. The best are the shady pergolas and benches spread through out this little park, botanical garden, perfect place to rest, listen to the distant city noise, and contemplate the peaceful coexistence of life, nature and art.

  • 5/5 Jenna W. 2 years ago on Google
    What a perfectly maintained garden - a real gem! Free admission, and easy parking. A small space with nothing wildly spectacular, but all the plants are well maintained and it’s a peaceful spot. Enjoying coming her just to walk around and think. Certainly a Palm Beach treat :)

    Stunning garden of sculptures, art, flowers, butterflies, and landscapes. Rich history here and well worth checking out. Amazing museum that is perfect for a weekend visit.

    Beautiful! I cant describe in words the beauty and enjoyment it was too stroll through the gardens enjoying the plants, flowers, butterflies and statues! What a peaceful area to enjoy-if you are ever in the area (or live in the area) you should take advantage of this great gardens-a wonderful “free” activity for all ages.

  • 5/5 Rena C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful, relaxing, calming and quiet!! Great seating under the trees to just relax to enjoy the statues and exhibits. So beautiful to stroll through when visiting the area and there is no admission fee....free to enjoy.

  • 5/5 Carmelo E. 4 years ago on Google
    Neat intimate little museum. For a smaller museum it has a lot to do and a lot to see. Definitely worth spending an afternoon here.

  • 5/5 Wren S. 4 years ago on Google
    Small little museum packed with lots to do and learn about. Definitely a good place to visit if you're in the area and have a craving to learn something interesting.

  • 4/5 Maine G. 7 years ago on Google
    We wanted to visit a couple of museums while in Palm Beach and found this one. The museum had several fine pieces but we circulated through the museum in a short amount of time. I must have missed the signs about not taking photos because I was abruptly approached by the staff who made sure no photos were going to be taken. I felt bad for a woman who was innocently about to take photos and was also stopped. The garden wasn't well marked and we missed seeing it.

  • 5/5 UMMA G. 5 years ago on Google
    Such a beautiful place to visit,and say hi to Connie at the front desk, she is now my favorite person in the world after getting caught in a horrible thunderstorm she welcomed us and gave us coffee to warm us up for our bike ride home. Thank you Connie!

    We traveled one hour to.enjoy the 4 Arts Museum. No parking was available, and we were told that Tuesday was for" members only." Never felt more unwelcomed on my life. Would suggest that detail be added to your website.
