About Alfred B. Maclay Gardens, Tallahassee
Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park is one of Tallahassee's most cherished landmarks and Florida's premier ornamental garden destination. Located in the Red Hills region of North Florida just north of downtown Tallahassee, these 1,176-acre gardens showcase the vision of Alfred B. Maclay, a New York financier who purchased the property in 1923 and spent decades creating a winter retreat centered on horticultural beauty. The formal gardens, which peak spectacularly from January through April, feature over 200 varieties of camellias and azaleas arranged along winding brick pathways beneath a majestic canopy of Southern live oaks draped in Spanish moss. This natural cathedral of ancient trees creates an ethereal atmosphere that has enchanted generations of visitors. The gardens reflect classic Southern landscape design with reflection pools, a secret garden, and carefully planned vistas that celebrate both cultivated elegance and native Florida beauty. Maclay's widow donated the property to Florida in 1953, creating a state park that preserves this botanical masterpiece for public enjoyment. Beyond the formal gardens, the park encompasses Lake Hall with boating and fishing, hiking trails through longleaf pine forests, and picnic areas that make it a beloved gathering place for Tallahassee families. The gardens host the annual Camellia Christmas celebration and spring garden tours that draw visitors from across the Southeast. As Florida State University's nearby presence brings energy to the capital city, Maclay Gardens offers a tranquil counterpoint — a place where students, families, photographers, and nature lovers can escape into beauty just minutes from downtown. The gardens represent Tallahassee's unique character: a capital city that blends Southern tradition, natural splendor, and rich history among rolling hills quite different from the rest of Florida's flat terrain. This poster celebrates the moss-draped oaks, blooming flowers, and timeless serenity that make Maclay Gardens an essential part of Tallahassee's identity and Florida's natural heritage.
