THE VENUE
Weddings And Private Events
The Harry and Mary Witte Learning Center pavilion and gardens is an event venue in Central Florida. The lawn sits among the gardens, and the reception is a few steps away under the pavilion, with an outdoor kitchen and bar and a Florida sunset over it.
The evening ends around the rustic fire pit, under the stars. There are five spaces on the property.

OUR STORY
Growing Here Since 1960
Rockledge Gardens sits on US-1 in Rockledge, Florida. It has been a nursery far longer than it has been a wedding venue, and the gardens you get married in are the ones that have been planted here since 1960.
