Inside Everglades Wonder Gardens - Bonita Springs, Florida
In 1936, brothers Bill and Lester Piper established the Reptile Gardens for tourists traveling the Tamiami Trail, the only road back then connecting Tampa and Miami. Here, visitors took a break from the road and marveled at the wildlife wonders of Southwest Florida.
As the attraction’s wildlife and botanical exhibits grew, the Pipers changed its name to the more apt Everglades Wonder Gardens. Eventually, the Gardens also became known for its wildlife rehabilitation programs. For three generations—all under the original owners—the Gardens embodied the nostalgia, history, and wonder of Florida, and introduced visitors to trees and plants from around the world.
In early 2013, the Piper family decided it was time to find a new owner and closed the attraction’s doors. But a local family stepped in, leased the property from the Pipers, and managed the Gardens until a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to saving the Gardens, could be established.

David Piper Talks About The Artifacts From Everglades Wonder Gardens
On March 12th of 2015, Southwest Florida Television got to join Everglades Wonder Gardens Director, John Brady and several board members of Bonita Wonder Gardens as they were doing their due diligence for the purchase of Everglades Wonder Gardens.
Our group met David Piper at his storage unit to inventory some of the old artifacts that used to be on display in the museum at the original Everglades Wonder Gardens. Many of these rare items hadn't been seen in years. Seeing the artifacts and hearing David talk about them was a great experience for everyone.
When we arrived the first thing we got to see was Big Joe. Big Joe was the star at Everglades Wonder Gardens. He was the first thing visitors would see when they walked into the park. Big Joe died in 2003, somewhere around the age of 75. In his prime, Big Joe was considered to be the largest American crocodile in the world. He was 15 feet long and weighed nearly 1200 pounds.
