Leu Gardens Orlando
Located North East Of Downtown Orlando
Harry P. Leu Gardens can provide you & the family a relaxing morning or afternoon
out away from all the tourist traps. The gardens are located north east of downtown
Orlando. There's 50 acres of Botanical gardens to explore including a historic museum
house built in the 1880s which was sold to Harry P. Leu & his wife in 1936.
 Once
all plants had been established in the gardens they decided to share their passion
for gardening by opening up the area to the general public.
Such was the success and popularity of Leu Gardens, that in 1961 Harry P.Leu deeded
his house and its grounds to the City of Orlando, provided they be maintained as Botanical
Gardens for the public to enjoy.
Leu Gardens Orlando is now on the National Register of Historic Places and has
become a popular venue in Orlando.
