The garden at the Spady Museum is filled with plants and trees that were flourishing in Delray Beach in the 1920s when Solomon D. Spady arrived from Townsend, VA. The garden was planned and installed by the City of Delray Beach.

In 2023, Community Greening, an urban forestry non-profit organization, added slash pine trees, a white guava tree and gumbo limbo tree to the site. These trees provide fruit and shade to the Spady Museum campus.
