Work for Flamingo Gardens: A 60-acre Botanical Garden and Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary
FLAMINGO GARDENS
Flamingo Gardens was one of the first organizations to work with Escape Key Graphics when the studio began operating full time, and it remains a particularly meaningful client relationship. Known to many South Florida residents as a pleasant place to spend an afternoon, Flamingo Gardens is much more than a botanical attraction. It is also a respected wildlife sanctuary that provides permanent care for injured and non releasable native animals. The property is home to the largest collection of Florida native wildlife, along with beautifully maintained gardens that highlight the state’s natural heritage.
Escape Key Graphics created the original illustrated map for Flamingo Gardens in 2010, which has served as the primary orientation tool for guests ever since. Over the years, the map has been revised and redesigned to reflect changes to the property and improve clarity for visitors. It continues to be used as a printed handout and as a key marketing asset on the organization’s website. In addition to the map, illustrated brochures and a rack card were also designed to support guest engagement and on site communication. This long standing collaboration reflects a shared commitment to education, conservation, and high quality visitor experience.
