Gardens near Orlando

Does anyone know of any pretty public gardens or scenic areas near Orlando/Kissimmee?
We will be celebrating our silver wedding anniversary while we are away and while a friend is joining us for the day, I was hoping she would take some portrait shots of us....somewhere pretty.

We are thinking of the private photo session at a WDW resort too.

Cypress Gardens used to be a pretty place to visit Diane although I`ve not heard much about the place recently.

Well, that was the first place I thought of as we had our vows renewed there for our 20th anniversary but, having looked at the updated website, it looks like the general public may no longer be admitted.

That`s a shame Diane. It was nice to see the "Southern Belles" parading around the place.

Oh, hang on.....I'm getting confused with Cypress Grove park! Sorry!

Cypress Gardens has reopened after another make over....minus the animal section. However, I was looking for something closer.

can't help Diane, but it sounds like a lovely idea :yes:
