Travels with Amy: Getting the Best Out of Your Reciprocal Admissions Member Benefit, continued6/30/2018
The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL also provides free parking and reciprocal admission. A tropical urban oasis featuring unparalleled horticulture displays and a Sarasota bay-front setting, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is a living museum and world-class center for education, research and conservation. It also frequently features art installations, as well as a music series and special performances. The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is on the north side of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. Free parking and admissions allow access to a traditional Cayman Island garden bursting with the gorgeous colors and floral architectures so different from native flora found here - not to mention the many blue iguanas that roam the park! Na ‘Āina Kai (“Lands by the Sea”) Botanical Gardens, Sculpture Park and Hardwood Plantation is on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. This garden is accessible only with trained guides - an excellent idea, as many of the plants are toxic to the touch! The guides are very knowledgeable and provide a fascinating glimpse into the native flora. As with other tropical gardens, the colors are super-saturated and quite amazing compared to the more subtle hues of our local beauties. Amy made a few suggestions for traveling to other gardens that are part of the AHS Reciprocal Admissions Program:
