Situated on Sarasota Bay, the downtown campus is the only botanical garden globally focused on studying and displaying these air plants.
The downtown Sarasota campus also features the world’s first net-positive energy botanical garden, generating more energy than it consumes. Historic Spanish Point, located less than 10 miles south along Little Sarasota Bay, preserves native Florida plants and showcases public archaeology, celebrating a 5,000-year record of Florida history.
