Who We Are
For generations, Slovak Garden has been a monument to Slovak Americans in Central Florida, created by people who wanted to serve the underserved and provide a safe, caring community.
Families once arrived here straight from Slovakia, staying in the apartments while they got established. They found warm neighbors, a swimming pool, shared meals, Slovak Mass, and a sense of belonging in a new country.
That spirit still lives here today and the Slovak Garden continues to be...
A peaceful place to live at an affordable cost
A living expression of Slovak faith, generosity, and work ethic
A gathering point for those who love Slovak culture and want to keep it alive
You do not need to speak Slovak or be deeply involved in the culture to be welcomed. Visitors, neighbors, friends, and the simply curious are invited to come, learn, and participate.
