About Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens

A hidden two-acre garden in West Palm Beach where sculptor Ann Norton's towering brick-and-granite works rise among one of Florida's finest collections of rare palms and cycads.

Tucked into a residential corner of West Palm Beach, the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens pairs monumental art with a botanical collection you won't find anywhere else in the state. It's a small, unhurried spot, easy to enjoy in a morning and a welcome change of pace from Florida's bigger, busier attractions.

What you'll see - Nine of Ann Norton's monumental sculptures in brick and granite, set along winding garden paths. - The artist's preserved historic home and studio, visitors single out the studio and the knowledgeable, friendly guides in particular. - A rare-palm and cycad collection, with orchids and dense, peaceful planting that make the two acres feel far larger.
