WELCOME

Visitors to the Key West Garden Club and the Joe Allen Garden Center, the club's meeting and educational facility, are invited to stroll the brick pathways through graceful arched courtyards and lush, colorful foliage of the West Martello Tower, a Civil War fort and a National Historic Site.

This secluded eden is one of Key West's most tranquil spots.
The grounds feature a rare collection of native and exotic trees and plants, including blooming orchids and bromeliads. Labelling is an ongoing process.

The fort structure is highlighted by vaulted ceilings, gun mounts and a conservatory. Gazebos catch the soft sea breezes and are a popular romantic backdrop for weddings. The water lily pond and waterfall offer a soothing respite from the tropical sun.

The Key West Garden Club is one of the island's last remaining free tourist attractions. Plants are donated and maintained by members and volunteers. We are a non-profit organization; a member of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. and the National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc.


The KEY WEST GARDEN CLUB and WEST MARTELLO TOWER, located where White Street meets the Atlantic Ocean, is open year-round, Tuesday thru Saturday 9:30 a.m. until 3:15 p.m.
