Everglades Wonder Gardens

Written By Jane Olivia

If you are ever in Southwest Florida and want to get out and explore, I suggest the Everglades Wonder Gardens! They are a non-profit focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and preserving nature and the animals in the area. They started in 1936 as a tourist attraction but have since grown! They now have summer camps, volunteer opportunities, and educational projects to help inform their community. 

All of their animals have been rescued and/or rehabilitated. On their website, they have little videos on a lot of their animals and how they ended up at the Wonder Gardens. They are super cute and I highly recommend watching them! 

Aside from having critters like peacocks, talking birds, and a ton of gators, they also have an 80+ year old botanical garden! It is absolutely breathtaking! Full of ancient cacti, large succulents, beautiful tropical flowers and trees. There are small ponds inside the gardens that make the home for lily pads and aid the growth of the plant life around it.

Vegan blogger with a message to share:

Veganism doesn't have to be hard, unappetizing, or unhealthy. I here to show people how to make delicious healthy recipes free of many allergens like gluten but with an extra healthy twist. Many of the recipes are completley grain-free, refined sugar-free, oil-free, and made with ingredients that are of course plant based and as close to the whole plant form as possible. There less processed it is, the better. I also write blog posts on living a vegan lifestyle. Veganism isn't just about not eat animals and their byproducts, but also not buying leather or buying cosmetic products from companies who test on animals. I am here to help people on their journey to a life free of cruelty but full of positivity and happiness. I share my vegan story, cruelty free skin care routine, makeup routines, eco-friendly household products, ethical fashion, yoga and meditation, zero waste essentials, how to throw a vegan party, pantry essentials, and so many more!
