A year ago I went to the Key West Tropical Forest and Botanical Gardens on Stock Island and I came away with the feeling that it will be a great place in about five years. Gardens need time to grow and get bushy. Tropical gardens and botannical gardens also need more than just a bunch of plants. They need bridges, benches, art, and all kinds of points of interest like that to engage the visitor.
I was there yesterday and looks like there are some major improvements going on. For starters, looks like a lake is being dug. There are some large trees set up around the lake as well, propped up by two-by-fours. This is exciting, and they've already put in a bridge over the water. Sounds like a point of interest and something that will engage the visitor to me.
