Join a garden team and experience the positive impact
gardening has on your life, your health and our environment

Part of our mission at Collier County Parks & Recreation is to protect and sustain our environment. In addition to our more well known sports fields and playgrounds, we also maintain tranquil garden spaces in several parks, with room to grow!  Currently, the largest is the butterfly garden at North Collier Regional Park, full of colorful plants important to our native butterflies.
