Stroll & Roll

Stroll and roll with Basically Wonderful at H.P. Leu Gardens on Monday, March 2 from 10am to 12pm! Join us for a relaxing morning amongst nature and good company as we make our way down around the botanical garden together.

Meet us inside the Garden House Welcome Center at 10am! We'll be heading into the gardens at 10:15am, to allow for folks who may be running a little late to the meetup. Please RSVP so we know to expect & wait for you. DM us on Instagram if you arrive at the gardens later but wanna find us, and we'll let you know where to meet us!

About Leu Gardens: Harry P. Leu Gardens covers 50 acres of exquisitely maintained landscapes, including more than 40 plant collections, such as camellias, roses, palms, and cycads. The gardens also feature a tropical stream garden, butterfly garden, and a vegetable and herb garden. What will be in bloom during our visit: amaryllis, camellias, herbs, vines, gold/pink/yellow trumpet trees, citrus, shaving brush tree, angel trumpet, orchid tree.

We will be staying on the paved paths during our time together, and will aim to take our time to allow for resting and plenty of nature-gazing. There are many benches placed along the path, plus gazebos and picnicking spots throughout the property. There are over three miles of paved walkways and trails throughout the garden, but the exact length of our journey will be determined together based on the capacity of the folks who attend. We will plan to stop and picnic with drinks and snacks about halways through our meetup.

There is free parking on site, with multiple accessible spots available (unsure how many exactly based on information available online). The Gardens has wheelchairs for use by visitors for free on a first come, first served basis. There are three restrooms and five water fountains across the property.

Admission to Leu Gardens is free on March 2! The Gardens are open from 9am-5pm on this day. So please feel encouraged to arrive early or stay later after our meetup to continue enjoying the gardens on your own.

Stroll & Roll is an access-centered outdoor club for Central Florida Queers, hosted by @basically1derful and facilitated by nature-lovers Mikey (they/them) and Beck (they/them). All LGBTQIA+ folks and allies are welcome to join us for our outdoor excursions!
