McKee Botanical Garden
Ngoc Minh Ngo is a celebrated photographer whose evocative images capture the enduring beauty of the historic jungle garden.
The narrative is guided by members of the Garden’s board of directors:
- Elizabeth Moulton, founder and publisher of Vero Beach Magazine.
- Susan Smith, who led the Garden’s rescue.
- Marion de Vogel, great-granddaughter of Arthur G. McKee.
These contributors collaborated with writer Heather O’Shea, who brings to life the story of a singular garden: imagined in the early twentieth century and ultimately saved by a determined community.
The project is led by Executive Director, Rochelle Wolberg, whose visionary leadership continues to shape the Garden’s future and its standing among the nation’s most distinguished landscapes.
