SUNKEN GARDENS, ST. PETERSBURG, FL , JULY 3, 2013 (PHOTO VIDEO)

The Sunken Gardens are 4 acres (1.6 hectares) of well-established botanical gardens located at 1825 4th Street North, in the center of St. Petersburg, Florida, USA.
The Gardens were a commercial tourist attraction for many years, but are now operated by the city and maintained with the help of volunteers. Sunken Gardens are open to the public every day of the week; admission is charged.
Sunken Gardens retains their historical interest as an important example of a 1930s Florida roadside commercial attraction, and is probably the oldest commercial tourist attraction on Florida's west coast.
The Gardens are open to the public for educational programs, tours, and special events, particularly weddings which have taken place for decades on the Wedding Lawn, and in the banquet facilities in the Garden Room overlooking the unique garden setting.

The Garden Wedding
Since 1935, Sunken Gardens has been a favorite setting for exchanging those special vows. Meandering walkways wind through the shady oasis that surrounds you with thousands of lush tropical displays, hundreds of vibrant flowering plants, and cascading waterfalls.

E-MAIL COMMENT FROM A CANADIAN ADMIRER:
Probably one of the most underused/visited places in the St. Pete’s area, just like downtown. Most people come to the Gulf for the beach, and who can blame them. However there are some really great gems, as you can attest. Keep up the “exploring”, and make a log of your videos.
