Eden Garden State Park in Point Washington, Florida



Eden Garden State Park - one of the most beautiful places in Florida. 
The house was built in 1897 by William Henry Wesley, 
successful lumberman who operated sawmills on the grounds of his property.
In 1963 the place was purchased by Lois Maxon, a paper and publishing business woman from 
New York. Lois Maxon renovated the home and filled it with her family heirlooms and antiques.
 Ms. Maxon created also beautiful gardens around the house. 
In 1968 she donated Eden Gardens to the State of Florida.
Eden Gardens State Park contains approximately 163 acres of land filled with sculptured lawns and ornamental and manicured gardens and many beautiful trees - very large and old oak trees.






















During our walks around the Eden gardens we witnessed a small photo session.  
 A very young lady was a very charming model.
