Do not try to park your RV in the garden parking lot. It looks like it’s big enough but we almost got stuck because of low hanging branches at the exit. Instead turn north off of US 41 onto South Palm Ave. There’s enough room to park on the street, then you just have to cross 41 to get to the gardens.You may have to go to the light to cross because of the amount of traffic.
The most interesting part of these gardens is the greenhouse with orchids and other air plants but it also has a several trails that wander through various groupings of plants and trees. The trails are mainly smooth concrete and easy to roll along. The cactus garden paths are loose stone - very hard to roll through but you can see most of it from the paved path. There are a few steep ramps, one down to a boardwalk view point and a couple in the Christy Payne Mansion where there is a small art exhibit. Shelby Gardens
