Meet Our Residents

The Wonder Gardens is home to rescued birds and reptiles nestled among the sprawling banyan trees and plantings. While preserving the very best of Everglades Wonder Gardens, the non-profit is caring for more than 300 resident animals, upgrading wildlife enclosures, growing the botanical beauty of the property, adding education programs and events, and further engaging the community to enjoy this jewel in historic Downtown Bonita Springs.
