Help us to restore these gardens and to preserve the site where Dr. Henry Nehrling
lived and gardened.

On November 30, 2009, The Henry Nehrling Society acquired the remaining 6 acres of Henry Nehrling's original Palm Cottage Gardens to preserve Nehrling's legacy as one of Florida's outstanding pioneer horticulturalists. The home and garden will become an education center focusing on Historical Preservation, Horticultural Education and Environmental Conservation.

The Society is seeking donations and pledges from individuals, businesses and organizations.
