Trail-fed clearings where every turn delivers a new composition

Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens rewards visitors willing to wander off the main drag with trail systems that open into photogenic clearings seemingly designed for great photos. The scale surprises even repeat visitors — this place is considerably larger and more layered than it appears from the entrance.
