These beautiful ornamental gardens were first planted in 1923 by Alfred B. and Louise Maclay after they purchased the property for their winter home. The magnificent landscape is a masterpiece of floral architecture, that feature a picturesque brick walkway, a secret garden, a reflection pool, a walled garden and incredible flowering plants.

The Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park is located in Tallahassee, Florida –  .5 miles north of I-10 on U.S. 319/Thomasville Road. Turn west on Maclay Road. The park is a short distance on the right.

The morning was stormy and raining, but we were determined to get some photos after an hour drive to Jupiter. The sun rose behind the clouds – making the sky light up with a strong orange glow.  The light rain made the photography difficult having to hold an umbrella in one hand and the camera & tripod in another.  (Click on a photo for a larger view)
