Lake Eola Heights Garden Tour

Spanish moss swaying in the oaks, brick streets, plein air artists, classical music...all in the garden...if this sounds like a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, read on!



Sunday, April 17 from Noon - 5 p.m., Lake Eola Heights Neighborhood is hosting its biennial historic garden tour.  As one of the oldest neighborhoods in downtown Orlando, the mature trees and plantings paired with historically significant architecture makes it one of the prettiest areas in the "city beautiful".
