Nehrling Gardens to celebrate 25th anniversary

Located in Historic Gotha, Nehrling Gardens is dedicated to establishing an understanding and appreciation for the Florida environment and how to preserve it. 

The location is the former home of horticulturalist Henry Nehrling, who purchased the property in 1885 to experiment with tropical and subtropical plants year round, where Nehrling tested more than 3,000 plants. 

In 2000, the property was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites. 

To celebrate 25 years of the accomplishment, the team will host a fundraising event featuring silent auctions, live art auctions, guest speakers, food and wine. 

The event will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, in the Grove Room at the Foundation for a Healthy West Orange at 1200 E. Plant St., Suite 200, Winter Garden.
