Each year thousands of people come to historic Winter Garden FL to stay and play. What they take with them when they leave is the rich history and rustic spirit of the once bustling citrus hub. While the groves have largely been developed, and the city rocketed in the modern era with its central location, Winter Garden still maintains a down to earth atmosphere and a local spirit that continues to draw visitors year after year.
