Our towering trees, ever-blooming shrubs, and rich vegetation offer a lovely, tropical retreat. In this area, bromeliads, delicate orchids, and lush vines cling to every surface.
Our avocado, coffee, papaya, and chocolate trees bear fruit on a regular basis. And our daily butterfly releases are often the highlight of a visit to the Garden.
Come indulge your senses, Costa Rican style.
Things to Discover
Top of the World in the Rainforest | Walk up to the canopy deck and pretend you are on top of the world. The emergent layer of a true rainforest is 100 feet aloft, and if ours isn’t that high, it is still a great time and place to enjoy all the canopy epiphytes in color and in bloom.
Butterflies | Butterfly releases are often the highlight of a visit to the Garden. These release occur daily from April through October.
Firecracker Bush, Hamelia patens | The “firecracker” flowers never peel open but nevertheless are attractive to tropical hummingbirds and butterflies. This plant is considered native to S. Florida and much of Central America. Firecrackers are shrubs with big attitudes and require annual boot-camp haircuts to keep them from |

Juanulloa aurantiaca | Juanulloa is a tropical climber-and-draper (not-quite a vine) from Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. That long, orange trumpet of a flower is custom painted and shaped for hummingbirds. But don’t look too hard for hummers in our biome, because they are much too delicate to subject to zoo |
