The origins of the Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum can be traced back to its founding in 1955. At that time it was known as The St. Petersburg Branch of the Florida State Museum. Its collections would later become one of five components making up the Florida Botanical Garden as it is known today. Through donations from local palm enthusiast Gizella Kopsick, the arboretum soon grew into a thriving collection of some of the most exotic palms in the state. Situated on seven acres with nearly 1,000 different species including coconut palms, royal palms and king sago palms among others; the Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum is one of the largest collections of its kind in Florida.
