Four Arts Gardens




The Society of the Four Arts was founded in 1936. Its campus on the Intracoastal Waterway is home to a gallery, concert hall auditorium, two libraries, an administration building, and gardens. The Plaza's original building by Maurice Fatio now houses a library. The Gallery building, designed by architect Addison Mizner , now contains galleries and an auditorium.

The site's demonstration gardens were established in 1938 and now maintained by the Garden Club of Palm Beach to display tropical plants suitable for South Florida . Its Chinese garden includes a moongate and statuary, with pathway winding past a rock garden to the Spanish facade and decorative well. Large trees shade the way to the Madonna garden and formal fountain. The grounds also include a Rose garden and small Herb garden.
