Eucalyptus Gardens
Friends of Eucalyptus Gardens Fundraiser
Tucked away in bustling Wilton Manors is a tranquil space home to a green oasis and a collective of bohemian-driven small businesses, the Eucalyptus Gardens.
The three-acre site consists of an urban farm that runs a community supported agriculture (CSA) program, and an eclectic bunch of shops and cafes like the artisan coffeehouse, the Alchemist featuring a funky outdoor seating area. The Seed of Life Bistro, a vegan eatery, offers a quaint dining experience for the health conscious. Wine, beer, mimosas and tapas are served up at Chateau D’vine, a nice lounge space good for date nights or for simply enjoying a relaxing Sunday Funday among friends.
A painted swirl of color adorns a sidewalk that leads the way through the quirky destination where strings of lights from above accentuates the cozy atmosphere. The vibe is similar to Key West, like a wild romantic free-spirited misfit floating through life. Overall, the place feels like a community run by friendly folks with eco-conscious intentions. On Thursday evenings, the Urban Life Green Market draws large crowds where sustainable living is celebrated. Yoga classes are also available. Dogs and pets are welcome to join the crowd. Just ask for a water bowl.
Since the spot has grown in popularity, Eucalyptus Gardens needs to expand its parking accommodations. To do so, the folks have posted up a fundraiser on GoFundMe.com, seeking $15,000 in donations to put towards building seven additional parking spaces in compliance with the City of Wilton Manors. The funds will also support special events as well as enabling The Farm Store to renew its license, and allowing Zen Orchids to reopen.
To keep this gem afloat, kindly considering donating today. The campaign will remain open until further notice. Donate funds by clicking this link:
