Mead Botanical Garden is a civic and social organization operating a developing 48-acre plant and habitat preserve in the southwest part of Winter Park, Florida. Established in the 1930s as a botanical garden, the site preserves native plant species across a freshwater marsh, Howell Creek of the St. Johns River upper watershed, and sand hill pine uplands, reflecting its mission to protect and interpret indigenous habitats. The garden originated from efforts to house rare orchids and diverse plant varieties, with financing and land contributions supported by community donors and WPA labor, and has since transitioned to management with support from local government and community volunteers. Located in Winter Park, the organization focuses on sustaining its botanical collections and offering an interpretive, nature-centered environment where people and nature can thrive together. Mead Botanical Garden operates within the civic and social sector, carrying forward its mission to ignite interest in nature, interpret heritage, and exemplify sustainability through programming and preservation of its natural resources.
