When you first visit Hollis Gardens you will be stricken by its utter beauty. The Hollis family's generosity ensured the creation of this wonderful garden. Mark and Lynn Hollis donated the garden to the city of Lakeland, that all the residents could enjoy their own oasis.  As the former President of Publix, Mark Hollis had a vision of an exotic garden that would echo laughter and joy as families stroll throughout. He created a place where the community could make memories with loved ones, either a teenage first kiss or a wedding couple professing their love publically as they become husband and wife.
