Palma Sola Botanical Park Foundation, Inc.

Welcome to the Palma Sola Botanical Park!

In 1990, the grassroots initiative for a botanical park began when local citizens and community groups rallied to save the 10 acre site that had served as the Manatee County Nursery. In 1993, the non-profit 501(c)(3) Palma Sola Botanical Park Foundation, Inc. was established and the park has evolved ever since.

The park does not charge an entrance fee and receives no federal, state, or local government subsidies. We rely greatly on donations to keep the park open free of charge to the public 7 days per week.

I wish there was an option for 10 stars because that’s what Julie earned. Dealing with Julie and TOP TIER was the most unique , amazing and educational experiences of my life . I worked with my dog and Julie for months prior to taking him home and all I can say is she is absolutely gifted at her trade. The dog is the by far the most disciplined and well behaved dog I’ve ever had,. Both Apollo and Julie were 100% medicine for the soul. Thank you again Julie anything you need please let me know.
